Vanilla Rum Custard Filled Brioche Donut

The Standard Grill, the main restaurant of the Standard Hotel chain, is a solid meal option if you’re in the meatpacking area.

If you’re in the mood for an outdoor brunch with ample people-watching, they’ve got you covered. If you want an intimate dinner (also comes with people-watching, free of charge) this place also suffices.

The food was very good, with the highlight being those brioche donuts filled with sinful vanilla rum custard. Holy crap, those are good.

Burger was very tasty, nothing bad about it. Yet, nothing outstanding about it either. Same goes for the other entrees. All very good. Nothing really to Instagram, besides those bewitched donuts.

You come here for the location, the people-watching (I’ve said this three times now. If you’re a serial killer, take note) and the food is just a bonus.

As for this supremely boring review? Well, nothing I can do there. I’m writing this the day after labor day, and I’ve got nothing left for you. Sorry. I would insert a cute puppy picture or something, but, like I said, I have nothing left.
