365 Third Ave 10016. Time Out says Posted: Tue Oct 29 2013 This brazen tavern couldn’t have found a more fitting icon than 16th-century pirate queen Grace O’Malley, a bonny lass with a propensity for swilling hooch and seizing her exes’ castles.
Honoring the riot-grrrl spunk of the seafaring heroine, the bar’s focused drink syllabus was concocted by a formidable crew of cocktail-slinging dames, including Eryn Reece (Death & Company), Ivy Mix (Clover Club) and Franky Marshall (the Dead Rabbit). DRINK THIS: A heavy-hitting cocktail with a historical bent. Each potent quaff ($12) draws inspiration from the swashbuckling siren: The White Seahorse, a frothy blend of gin, plum brandy and egg white created by Jane Danger (Cienfuegos, PDT), takes its moniker from the symbol of the O’Malley clan, while Marshall’s bittersweet Belclare—named after the family stronghold—mixes cognac with grapefruit liqueur, absinthe and crème de cacao. GOOD FOR: Posh relief from fratboy-filled midtown bars. What do you think? The Breslin Bar & Dining Room. Time Out says Posted: Thu Mar 15 2012 Even in a city smitten with large-format feasts—whole hogs, huge steaks, heaps of fried chicken—the Breslin breaks new gluttonous ground.
The third project from restaurant savant Ken Friedman and Anglo chef April Bloomfield offers the most opulently fatty food in New York—served in medieval portions in a raucous rock & roll setting. Within the casual-restaurant landscape that the pair, also behind the Spotted Pig, has come to epitomize—a world without tablecloths, reservations or haute cuisine pretense—the new gastropub delivers a near-perfect dining experience.
Friedman, a pack rat who conceived the design alongside top firm Roman and Williams, has constructed an urban hunting lodge filled with wildlife paintings, figurines and knickknacks. Despite nightly waits of an hour or more to sit down, don’t be surprised to discover a few empty seats. Once you’re seated, the procession of animal fat continues.
