@_callitwhatyouwill's Review of Bartley Dunnes - New York, No Place (SANDBOX)

The video starts at a subway station platform where a train is departing. A woman wearing a black leather jacket takes a selfie while standing near the yellow safety line. The scene transitions to Bartley's Dune restaurant exterior during twilight hours. People walk past the entrance as cars drive down the street. Inside Bartley's Dune, two women clink glasses filled with orange-colored drinks containing ice cubes and lemon slices. Various dishes like fried shrimp, fries, and meatballs are shown on plates arranged on a table. At Salt Bae Cafe, close-up shots focus on cocktails: one topped with cinnamon powder and another with frothy white foam. Two espresso martinis are held up against each other before being placed back on the bar counter. The camera pans across shelves displaying liquor bottles and decorative items inside Salt Bae Cafe. It moves upward towards the ceiling adorned with mushroom-shaped decorations and playing cards under purple lighting. Then it focuses on a neon sign reading 'FOLLOW ME ALL THE WAY TO DISCO BALL.' In a dimly lit area within Salt Bae Cafe, round tables surrounded by chairs are visible through vertical bars covered with greenery. Small lamps illuminate some of these tables. A young woman enters a photo booth, adjusts her hair, and poses for pictures. She wears a pink top underneath her black leather jacket. Multiple printed photos from the photo booth show various people posing together. These strips of photographs feature different individuals making playful expressions. Framed artworks hang on a brick wall illuminated by red light. One artwork depicts a person sitting cross-legged, while others showcase abstract designs. Three friends sit closely together, laughing heartily amidst vibrant purple lights that fill the room. Green laser beams crisscross above a crowd gathered around a DJ setup. Some members of the audience dance energetically beneath the dynamic lighting effects. Back in the dining area with mirrored walls reflecting city lights, a blonde-haired woman waves goodbye to the camera, smiling brightly.
