REDEYE GRILL—It is no secret to anyone I know that I love food. I live for anything cheesy, salty, melty, crunchy, and last but not least, sweet. Believe it or not, 30% of New York’s appeal was that I would be placed in the mecca of some of the best restaurants in the world. I think about food at the most inappropriate times; while I’m on the treadmill, while I'm watching Thintervention, and 30 minutes after I just finished a seven course pasta tasting at Babbo. In fact, I’m enjoying some creamy hummus with sautéed garlic tomatoes right now. With that being said, you cannot have a well-rounded blog about New York City without mentioning what it does best—eats.
This week, I’m taking you to one of my personal favorites: Redeye Grill. Located right next to Carnegie Hall on 7th Ave, it supplies old New York glamour with new school allure. As soon as you enter this palace of deliciousness you are greeted by one of the most beautiful sights anyone could ever lay their eyes on: a raw bar. Although Redeye offers a wide variety of meats on their menu, their specialty is the ocean. I like to mix both. My friends and I ordered some of my personal favorites; peking duck quesadillas, clam chowder (the best), Danish smoked salmon smorrebrod, short ribs that have been braising for 3 hours with chive spaetzle, dover sole meuniére, and their world famous banana cream pie.
If you’re looking for a night to indulge in some high quality seafood while surrounded by some of the most elegant New Yorkers in the city, I highly recommend Redeye. If food doesn't interest you, that's probably why you're cranky.
