it was 12.23.08. my manfriend and i just took a tour of the new yankees stadium and we went down to the corner of 13th & 2nd and right on 13th, directly across from the store was a parking spot.
there are no reservations so we approached the door and a sign informed us that they were in a private party until 5. it was 4, so we fired up a couple bolivars and walked around union square for an hour.
at five, we walked in. small place. maybe 15 seats at the bar and ten tables. the party was still cooking at the back two larger tables.
we sat at the bar. about four or five hot 20-somethings roaming around. we really wanted the BoSaam and were told, after a lengthy wait, that none existed. i think they did not want to serve it to just two of us, but we easily would have eaten it.
so from the two sided 4 1/4 x 11 inch landscaped menu we ordered:
dozen beau soleil oysters(CAN) w/kimchi consomme $30
-i usually only deal with bluepoints, but this was quite tasty with the consomme
meacham country ham (sturgis, KY) $11
-southern prosciutto, exquisite, soft and salty
charred squid salad-ginger scallion, mizuna $14
-squid was so soft
spicy pork sausage & rice cakes-chinese broccoli, crispy shallots $18
-unreal, could not get enough, i wanted more, decent heat
long island duck-dijon spaetzle, brussels sprouts, 5 spoke cheddar $29
-phenomenal, a wicked mouthful of flavor
drank root beer, i forget what kind, but it was a regional one.
now, imagine eating this and listening to 5:15 by the who. it was awesome!!!!
