Apiary

by: Warren Peace category: Restaurants & Bars

For years, Scott Bryan ran the disciplined kitchen at Veritas, producing some of the city’s most delicious food and earning three stars from the New York Times. In her review, Ruth Reichl praised Bryan’s simple cooking but observed, “at Veritas, the wine is more important than the food.” In some ways, his food never received the credit it was due since it was always cast in a supporting role to the wine cellar. When Chef Bryan left New York in 2007 to guest-chef for three months at a restaurant called 2941 near Washington D.C., it was with little fanfare. Well Bryan has quietly returned to New York—hopefully for good—as the executive chef at Apiary on 3rd Avenue between 10th and 11th Streets in the East Village. It’s a surprising career move for Bryan, a humble operation seemingly below a chef of his ilk. But his work here shows his versatility and sensitivity to the changing climate for restaurants. He and Apiary’s managing partner Jenny Moon understand that the days of cigar smoking and guzzling rare Bordeaux are behind us (at least for the moment). Apiary is the poor man’s Veritas.

Shiftdrink to the rescue!!!! That’s right shiftdrink is looking after those who take care of others.

Crif Dogs

We can't imagine anything better than a porky chili dog at 3 A.M. after a tough shift and a long night pounding jager bombs. But the east village mainstay, Crif Dogs, has more than just that to soak up all the bottom-shelf booze in your gullet. You can have hot dogs wrapped in bacon, shmeared with cream cheese, topped with fried eggs, sour cream or melted cheddar. You can even customize your own crif dog. If you decide you need to drink more, hit the phone booth behind you which is a secret entryway into P.D.T. (Please Don't Tell), the adjacent speakeasy owned by Crifs. Just pick up the phone and they might let you in. Be careful though, they're veeery serious about mixology in there, maybe a little too serious? We decided that bacon-infused whiskey crosses the line (besides the fact that it tastes like ass juice). Plus, after three greasy dogs, a pork-infused cocktail with maple syrup in it doesn't exactly hit the proverbial spot. (W.P.) Read More . . .

Ward III

All of us have our favorite watering hole for winding down after a shift. It’s usually a place where you order a simple drink like a whiskey rocks or fizzy draft beer and the guy pouring the drinks is just about as excited to make it for you as he is when he’s cleaning up some poor NYU student’s puke just outside the bathroom door. Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes after a long night of giving other people the sweet treatment or that perfect dining experience, I really enjoy when someone else wants to give me exactly what I’m craving. Some nights that just might be an Irish whiskey with ice. Other nights it could be an effervescent gin drink made with strawberries and mint scented with fresh vanilla bean, and there is only one place I know I can get that until 4 A.M. (and food!) and that’s Ward III on Reade Street in Tribeca. Read More . . .
