Hell’s Kitchen on St Patty’s Day – Best Bars for Grub

Posted on March 1, 2017 by Ziggy

Cannibal’s Pig’s Head Cuban

People, its that time of the month. No, not that one, I hate that one. And shame on you for even thinking. Time to look for the latest W42st magazine, covering anything and everything Hell’s Kitchen. You can probably walk backwards on 48th st, while juggling Empanada Mama Spicy chicken Empanadas, naked, and chances are you will somehow run into a stack of W42st with those little cute zines stacked on top or inside. And if something goes wrong they should have them in the area hospitals as well. In the little zine, you will find Ziggy’s list, and for the month of March in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, I’m listing the best bars for food

Shorty’s – 20 beers on tap, sports wall to wall, crowds in a frenzy even during lunch. Looking all too typical, until you taste the Philly Cheesesteak.

Brickyard Gastropub – Unlike many so called Gastropubs downtown, this is a real one. 20 beers on tap, great build your own burger with truffle fries, and for the dieters, Bison Burger!

Casellula – A wine and cheese bar with great wine and, you guessed it, Pig’s Ass Sandwich. Just leave it to them to make the cheese and meat assortment, and wine to go with that ass

The Cannibal (Gotham West Market) – While it doesnt look like a bar, it certainly disguises as one. One of the largest beer selections in Hell’s Kitchen, great wings, artisanal hot dogs, and one nasty Pig’s Head Cuban

Il Baretto – An Italian sidewalk wine bar on a quiet (its all relative) corner of 11th. Crafty panini, salads, and better yet, Panino-salad combinations for lunch

Cannibal’s Wings

HKSG Update – 3 in, 1 out

Posted on January 12, 2015 by Ziggy

Not the most exciting update to the Hell’s Kitchen Survival Guide, but an update nonetheless. I keep trying new places, and looking for hidden gems which turn out to be just hidden… Puff Cha, B-Side, all sorts of new Mexican, and Puff Cha Ramen formerly known as Puff Cha (little identity crisis, that’s all. We all go through that at some point).

While some of you were standing outside of Pure Thai, patiently waiting for a table, I’ve been cheating with Pam for the past three months. A much more approachable Pam Real Thai joins the list even though the list already includes two Thais. I explain why there.

Two bars that happened to offer some tasty treats join the list, Brickyard and Shorty’s. I didn’t have any bars in there, and I see plenty of site traffic coming from Ireland lately. Just trying to keep my audience happy, and well fed.

I’m removing Annabel from the list after a recent visit. Shared two pies with a friend and after I left it felt like I just ate an entire loaf of bread. I liked it just enough after the initial visit but I think I added it prematurely. I almost replaced it with Tavola, but I’m not totally in love with it either

Stay Hungry!
