So after the visiting the Morgan Library my friend and I headed downtown to SoHo where there was such a completely different vibe than in Mid-Town. After that feeling of claustrophobia from being surrounded by the huge Mid-Town buildings it was nice to walk around in a neighborhood of low buildings and more open space...even if the area was tawdry.
Being in a New York-y state of mind, we decided to stop at a local movie theater and see this film. It was an interesting group of shorts by different directors with an ensemble cast in vignettes that were cleverly woven together. It was the perfect film to watch in NY.If you haven't see it, here's the trailer.
After the movie we wandered up Bowery to have dinner at Daniel Boulud's DBGB Kitchen & Bar, and like Boulud's other restaurants, it did not disappoint.
A casual restaurant with a bistro menu listing three pages of beers and ales...which impressed me even though I wouldn't know the difference between Bud Light and a Belgian Ale.
We sat in the bar area, which was way more lively than the restaurant in the backand this was for dinner
roasted marrow
and blood sausage on a potato pureeexactly what I would have ordered on a cold winter night in France
My friend was not about to go all francais with the blood sausage so he ordered something traditional
Ignoring the vast list of beers and ales, I went for the Train Wreck Zinfandel from Schrader Cellars which was served by the glass.

When is Daniel Boulud going to open a bistro in Brentwood?

I knew I liked you! I don't have many girlfriends willing to eat bone marrow. I LOVE it! I'm sure you could tell the difference between beers! I'm not much of a beer drinker, but the good ones I enjoy once in a while. Have one of your children give you a blind taste test!
Jill, roasted marrow bone is so good, but so hard to find outside of France.
But...if I come down wiht Mad Cow desease, you'll know why...
I wish I could eat at his establishments more frequently but whenever I do it's always divine.
My gran in England used to serve us roasted marrow straight from her old wood burning Rayburn stove.
