Gramercy Tavern

My cousins Grace and Patrick treated Penny and I to a very nice lunch today.  So yummy.  The better pics were taken by Patrick, lol.  Tomorrow night we'll hit Momofuku.  Miss Audrey Allure and Andres will be coming along with us.

 On the way to the train we saw this funny little snowman.  Makes me want to make one in our front yard as well... hehe.  Is that a cigarette?

 Here we are!

Menu

Hmm, what to have....

Penny says, "One measly piece of bread!?!"

Kathleen says, "Don't be greedy."

Patrick agrees.

Hmm, everything looks so good.

Still can't decide.

Patrick documenting for his blog.

Grace orders the Ginger Swizzle, Patrick ordered the Lemon Thyme Tonic of which I didn't take a picture.  I was too involved in trying to decide what to have for lunch.

I decided on the Calamari and Carrot Salad with Toasted Pine Nuts and Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette

Penny's appetizer:  Red King Crab with Sunchokes and Apples

Patrick's appetizer:  Red Kuri Squash Soup with Brussel Sprouts and Apples

Grace had the Cauliflower with Red Quinoa, Prunes, and Peanuts

For my entrée I had the Sea Bass with Squash, Pumpkin Seeds and Currants

Penny opted for the Pork Croquette with Red Cabbage, Aji Dulce Peppers and Spiced Port Sauce

Patrick ordered the savory Braised Lamb Shoulder with Heirloom Beans, Wild Mushrooms and Brussel Sprouts

And finally Grace, a girl after my own heart, had the Roasted Hanger Steak with Fingerling Potatoes, Red Russian Kale and Bourbon Sauce

I had a cappuccino with my dessert...

My dessert being the Warm Chocolate Bread Pudding served with Cacao Nib Ice Cream

Penny chose the Sticky Toffee Fig Cake and Coffee Ice Cream, which she said tasted more figgy than toffee'y, lol.

Grace ordered the Dried Cherry Cheesecake with Black Pepper Butter Cookie and Cherry Lemon Sorbet

Finally Patrick's dessert, Peanut Butter Semifreddo with Chocolate Macaroon.

Since we ordered coffee to go with our desserts we were served some petits fours with it.  I can't remember what they were but the round ones in the middle are peanut butter something or other with a crisp shell covered in chocolate.  The Squares had an orange peel something or other and the other lighter color ones were some type of macaroon.  So yummy.

I had a wonderful time with my sister and cousins.  I recommend lunch or even dinner here for something nice.  I wouldn't recommend it for an everyday lunch thing but for a special occasion it's really nice.
