the smith

catching up with british dave has been long overdue! while there have been various group outings- it's always difficult to have any extended conversation in those settings.

the plan was to grab a quick bite at the smith and then go watch the election results at dba afterwards. . . i've been curious about the smith for quite some time- drawn the idea of their sunday special $12 burger + beer plus every time i've walked by there has been a decent crowd and reviews have been positive. walking into the smith, there was a sense of familiarity and i was reminded of the decor of schillers or pastis. as i looked over the menu, i noticed all the prices have gone up by $1-2 from what's posted on nymag's website. . . both british dave and i opted for the burger medium well with a side of greens.

the burger was deliciously simple- the saltiness of the bacon complemented the sharpness of the cheese and smooth flavor of the ground meat. encased in a lightly toasted seedless bun and topped off with a house sauce, fresh white onions, tomatoes, and a leafy green- smith's burger delivered. will definately go back for the sunday special.

unfortunately with so much gabbing we never made it to dba. good thing my friends were keeping me in the loop via text!
