Beatrice Inn Has Some of the Best Burgers Around

I recently stopped into the ultra exclusive Beatrice Inn, located in the heart of the West Village where Angie Mar is the Executive Chef. Mar is a native of Seattle, but at Beatrice Inn she draws her talents as a chef heavily from the rustic farmers markets of her childhood, with a focus on simplicity and seasonality. During my visit, Mar greeted me with a smile and her charming personality as she went over the the burger options for the evening. Let me tell you, this girl knows her stuff! After listening to the many offerings, I decided on the lamb burger, because seriously, who doesn’t love a good juicy lamb burger. It was just that, good, succulent, and quite scrumptious.

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 135 West 45th Street

Cuisine: American

Best Dish: The wings were splendid and the mac and cheese was to die for, but the bread pudding was the star of the evening. It was butter and rich without being cloyingly sweet.

Overall: Both the restaurant and the bar are comfortable relaxing spaces. The restaurant is perfect for the whole family but the bar is an impressive space for date night or an evening with friends.

Last night, we stopped by one of our favorite areas, South Street Seaport for the grand opening of Ambrose Beer and Lobster. The grand opening featured the largest and most delicious looking lobster roll on the Seaport – 20 feet long (the length of the bar!). Guests enjoyed specialty cocktails, craft beers, and of course delicious food like pretzel bites, lobster grilled cheese, lobster avocado wraps, Parmesan and truffle French fries. The night also included competitive games of beer pong and dancing, thanks to the sounds of DJ Kalkutta.

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_181953 To 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.
