Description
Founded by native New Yorkers, this neighborhood spot balances its tight, sometimes chilly dining room with a downstairs area featuring games. The menu emphasizes local ingredients in comfort classics, featuring the Whitmans Smash, the Bluicy, and off-menu lettuce wraps for the calorie-conscious. Fries here are reminiscent of a crispier version of Five Guys. It is a relaxed setting for casual group hangouts, though the small space can feel a bit too casual for dates.
