Restaurant Review: Citrico

by xoJohn

Location: 681 Washington Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

Cuisine: Mexican

Cost: $$

Overall: A cozy neighborhood shop for authentic Mexican eats and scrumptious margaritas.

For the last five years, family-owned Citrico has been serving authentic home-style Mexican Cuisine, in Prospect Heights. This small unassuming bistro is located a few short blocks from The Brooklyn Museum and has become a favorite among its patrons. The restaurant is known for its welcoming atmosphere and traditional recipes. Owner Noor Shikari and husband Chef Luis Dávila pride themselves on cultivating an authentic culinary experience, presenting flavors and textures found at Abuela’s (Grandmother’s) table.

Location: 323 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10010

Cuisine: Japanese and Italian Fusion

Best Dish: The grilled shrimp was delicious, the tuna tartar was fabulous but the sushi was absolute heaven. The Fortissimo specialty roll contained surprising herbaceous notes of basil and an equally surprising touch of parmesan.

Overall: A quaint chic space more than worthy of a romantic date night or a fun meal with your foodie friends.

Brunch at Haru Sushi

by Desha Winborne

Location: 220 Park Avenue South

Cuisine: Japanese

Best Dish: The breakfast buns are by far the best item on the brunch menu. The appetizing filling between the soft steamed buns is a fun alternative to the standard breakfast sandwich.

Overall: A quaint casual eatery that is ideal for a lazy weekend brunch.

District Tap House Has A New Menu

by Desha Winborne

The District Tap House has been a garment center favorite since opening in January of this year. The space has recently undergone some great new changes including a menu of carefully selected craft cocktails and delicious new dishes.  We stopped by District Tap House where we had the privilege of tasting a few of their best drinks and tasty edibles, and to also meet the team behind the updated menu. Once we entered we were ushered to a private bar area in the rear by the bubbly hostess. The rear space was equipped with a private bar and two friendly bartenders serving up some of the best cocktails in the city.

One of the unique new additions to the Tap House menu is its cocktail’s on tap.  Just as beer lovers can enjoy a cool refreshing beverage straight from a tap cocktail lovers have the same option. The bar also offers flavored ice orbs in a variety of flavors, created to be paired with premium spirits.  While I enjoyed a refreshing Moscow Mule directly from the tap my constant companion had an old fashioned with an apple spice ice orb.

20140923_181953To go along with the amazing cocktails Tap House also offers an extensive menu of small plates and sandwiches. Chef Harrison Mosher and his team produced a great menu of tasty treats.  One of our favorites was the District Wings.  The wings are fried with a thin crust and glazed with agave nectar and lime.  The wings area mouth watering mix of salty and sweet with a delightful crunch and moist tender meat.

Tap House is also home to one of the most amazing burgers in the city. The burger is a beautiful 6oz patty of grass fed beef served with fontina cheese and bacon. Despite the thickness of the patty the meat was juicy and well seasoned.

Chicken tacos are also an easy favorite. The chicken is moist and zesty served on soft tortilla piled high with fresh veggies.

Meat lovers must order the barbecue ribs The ribs are pull apart tender melt in your mouth goodness. The sauce offers the right amount of savory and sweet, and the ribs are coated in it but not swimming in it so you can truly taste the well cooked meat.

Midtown Manhattan has a new watering hole.  Lexington’s is nowopen for business and ready to serve. The luxurious space is located on the main floor of the beautiful The Court Hotel, at 130 East 39th street, just a few short blocks from Grand Central Station and a few of the city’s most popular attractions, the space is easily accessible and a nice place to entertain out of town guests without the insanity of nearby Times Square. We visited the low key gastro pub last week for a sneak peak at the glorious new furnishings and menu. The space is sophisticated and spacious with a beautiful long bar and several intimate seating options. A great deal of careful planning went into its overall design and it shows.

Cuisine: Mediterranean

Items: 3 small plates, 3 brunch entrees, 2 cocktails

Best Dish:  The fresh-baked bread is second to none, it is warm flaky and absolutely divine.

Overall: Mediterranean cuisine has long been celebrated for its freshness and quality. The health benefits of its olive oil and vegetable-laden recipes are heralded among the most healthful options. Bustan is a warm and friendly space with great food at reasonable prices. Its warmth and charm are great for any group including the kiddies.
