Day 795 : Nibbles at the Smith

The Smith, well the original version located on 3rd avenue between 10th and 11th street, was an immediate scene when it opened a few years back. A casual yet sleek gastro pub buzzing with life, it's a great place to grab a drink and / or a bite before going to a show at Webster Hall or a movie at a nearby cinema.

Last night we split a few of their appetizers while waiting for our concert at Webster Hall.

So what did we have?

Their burrata with roasted tomatoes, basil, and sourdough panzanella salad. Classic, delish, flavorful and burrata is always a Fromagical favorite. We also had their baked pretzel with honey mustard. Warm and gooey and comforting in the right sort of ways -- the perfect partner for a nice Pilsner. We also had their artichoke flatbread with black olives, parmesan, ricotta, and roasted sweet onions. Savory, simple, rustic, and just the right touch of aromatic flair. It was great with my glass of Channing Daughter Rosato di Merlot. We also had a side order of their brussel sprouts that fell flat unfortunately but overall great drinks, company, and nibbles.
