Crisp Kitchen + Bar

Neighborhood/Location

Bloomingdale

Description

Leave a man to express himself in sandwich form and you get Crisp Kitchen + Bar. Between-the-bread has always been Chef Alex McCoy’s forte, as he turned out some beauties like the Proper Burger at Duke’s Grocery. His new calling card is hot chicken. In fact, chickens book the first flight on JetBlue when they see Alex coming. OK, OK, there’s more to the menu like patty melts, poutine, and the ever-hip avocado toast. Drink-wise, you’re sipping on the tequila-based “5 Star Uber Driver,” or the “Do You Have an iPhone 7 Charger” with whiskey and fernet. Another reason to love Crisp? Happy hour is seven days a week from 5-8pm.

The Red Hen

Neighborhood/Location

Bloomingdale

Description

You don’t get smacked in the face with foodie-ness when you walk through the doors of The Red Hen with its whole cozy, wood cabin feel, but once the food and drinks start to arrive, it’s clear they’re very serious. The burrata bursts, the sommelier is pulling stunts like making rosé cider, and the pasta springs off your teeth like synchronized divers. It’s bomb, and always will be.
