But just as we do with our breakfast and dinner menus, we reach further out of the city to the farms and purveyors of New York State for field greens, wild arugula, heirloom tomatoes, chicken and pork that go into homey plates like Chicken Schnitzel and Greek Salad. Like any good lunch restaurant in Manhattan, you’ll find a daily Blue Plate Special on the menu with our spins on tradition using local ingredients (think spaghetti and meatballs with parmesan cheese). Wash it down with fresh house-made lemonade. For dinner, we coax the best flavors from farm fresh ingredients. A little retail section off the dining room of our Manhattan restaurant is a fuss-free space to grab a coffee made with Cafe Grumpy coffee beans, a pastry or a sandwich made from just a few ingredients on hearty artisanal breads. In the evenings, the table transforms into a communal gathering place for a glass of wine at the end of the day.
