I spent a crazy Friday night at Senor Frog's in Times Square, where it's spring break all year round

I went to Señor Frog's New York expecting the worst.

Being anywhere in Times Square on a Friday night is not usually my idea of fun, let alone a loud, rowdy club that's known for its wild dance parties and fruity drinks.

The chain restaurant launched in Mexico in 1969 and has since opened locations in Miami, Aruba, Puerto Rico, and more tropical locations, catering to the "spring break" crowds who visit solely to drink in their bathing suits for five days straight. Sugary margaritas are poured into giant, neon plastic cups, and food is served on skateboards.

But to the surprise of many, Pete Wells, the usually tough New York Times restaurant critic who once said Le Cirque's beef carpaccio "tasted of refrigeration and surrender", recently wrote a thoroughly positive review of the party spot that opened in Times Square in the summer of 2015.

"I had more fun at Señor Frog's than at almost any other restaurant that has opened in the last few years," Wells wrote.

I had to check it out for myself. And after a surprisingly fun Friday night, I have to say I highly suggest Señor Frog's New York if you want to forget you're in New York, or, if you want to forget who you are altogether.
