FERRIS – NOMAD – DINNER

  • February 23, 2018 4:16 pm

Every single review you will read about Ferris will be much better written than mine will be.

They’ll be using adjectives and analogies and witty breakdowns of each dish. You’ll probably even add a few new tasty nuggets to your vocabulary.

Much of the tone of those nicely written reviews will be lukewarm.

The tone of my poorly written review will NOT be lukewarm. I loved Ferris!

Did I lose you yet?

The menu at Ferris, the new eatery inside the ultra trendy Made Hotel (which looks more like a minimalist Scandanavian furniture show room) appears highly ambitious at first glance.

To blatantly rip off a blurb from The Infatuation’s review “Ferris is a restaurant in Nomad where you can get a very interesting plate of food that you don’t necessarily want to eat.”

The list of menu items does NOT include one single thing you will be craving that night.

If you’re still interested, then perhaps Ferris is for you. Trust me, you will be rewarded for your adventurous spirit!

We loved the ambiance, the service and the food however the cocktails sort of steal the show. Come here to imbibe with a few nibbles (the broccoli, bread and the carrot agnolotti stand out) and it will be the perfect night.

DON ANGIE – WEST VILLAGE – DINNER

  • February 9, 2018 6:51 pm

Don Angie is 100% the tastiest new restaurant in the city.

If 1000% were a real thing, this would be it.

But 1000% is not real. It’s fake math, people.

I’m trying to find something wrong with this place. Lemme think for a second. Something like a rude hostess, a wobbly table or itchy toilet paper.

Nothing!

Don Angie is the perfect dining experience. *

Ok, this review is getting ridiculous. Let’s real it in, Bun Boy!

Now, if you’re an Instagram foodie worth his Maldon Sea Salt, you’ve seen pics of the famous Lasagna.

The somewhat deconstructed monstrocity looks like a savory Cake Roll. Like a sliced up Italian Yule Log. In other words, it looks AMAZING!

But we didn’t order that.

We bucked the trend. We paved our own way.

We ordered a lesser known but equally delicious pasta and a simple yet inventive chicken dish that will completely change your mind about ordering chicken at a restaurant. 1000%.

I won’t bother describing either super flavorful dish, as by now you’ve already stopped reading and are scrolling down to see the pics (or clicking away to your most fav porn site).

Just trust me, the food, the ambiance and the service (and that INCREDIBLE zeppole dessert that looks like HAIRY BALLS) will blow you away.

Is Don Angie the new Carbone? No. Not yet. But it’s a hell of a lot easier to get a ressie here.
