NEW YORK

I remember when Bedford-Stuyvesant was a section of Brooklyn to be avoided: Televised coverage of the gang and race riots erupting there in the 1960s and 1970s (during my formative years) is something I still remember vividly. But today, like so much of this borough, Bed-Stuy has a diﬀerent identity, rich in cultural, retail and dining venues, and now a sought-after ZIP code for resident hipsters. You can read all about it in “Across the Bridge.” Elsewhere in this issue: A feature on how chefs are reinventing side dishes (no main course required!) and, being that it is Cupid’s Month (Valentine’s Day), a story on romantic city bars, along with the best chocolate retailers in town (most women I know insist chocolates trump all other aphrodisiacs). This is just a sampling of what’s on tap in this month’s Where–so read on!

BOOTY ALERT Get ready for a new kind of boot

Like most entrepreneurs, Nolan Walsh, the co-founder of Thursday Boot Company, found inspiration out of necessity. “When my co-founder Connor [Wilson] and I were in Columbia Business School and looking to buy boots, we noticed a classic Goldilocks problem,” says Walsh. “Leather boots in stores were either too clunky or too delicate, and it was nearly impossible to find ones that were affordable, well-made, waterproof and ethically sourced.” So, Walsh and Wilson began making boots for themselves and their friends, running the e-commerce passion project out of a small office in NYC, before opening a showroom in the Flatiron District. “It’s a casual, fun environment: People can get a sneak preview of unreleased models and actually purchase products,” says Walsh. Thursday Boot sells styles for men and women, and rolls out versatile designs that can go from morning to evening and sunshine to rain because, according to Walsh, “In New York, you never know what the day is going to bring.”—Sonia Weiser 14

Goose Barnacle is a favorite of Walsh’s for its “eclectic mix.” The men’s boutique is known for stocking sharp-looking clothes and accessories that range from casual weekend jeans to meeting-ready button-downs. Extra Butter is where Walsh goes for designer sneakers and Grade A customer service. And Outdoor Voices produces ethically made athletic clothing in breathable materials for men and women of all shapes and fitness levels. For more great

Skip the main course and make a meal out of these hearty accompaniments. By Joni Sweet

WHEN YOU SIT DOWN with a menu, which part do you scan first? If you didn’t say, “the sides,” it’s time to reconsider your approach. Chefs across the city have transformed what was once the minor section of the menu from an afterthought into an intentional exploration of flavors and textures. Side dishes have evolved beyond their role of dressing up the entrée, with many diners now choosing one or two sides as the main event.

SOME STEAK WITH YOUR POTATOES? A little steak with your potatoes? While it might be best known for its strip steaks, rib-eye chops and ocean-fresh fish, Mastro’s steak house has another star at the table: its spuds. The trendy Midtown restaurant serves up nine distinct potato preparations, including a hefty one-pound baked potato, regular or sweet french fries,

WHE RE I F E B R U A R Y 201 8

over-the-top lobster mashed potatoes and gooey scalloped potatoes with perfectly crisp edges. But if taters don’t tempt you, the rest of the sides on the menu might: Generous servings of sautéed broccoli and asparagus bring an earthy flavor, creamed veggies (both corn and spinach) deliver richness and roasted Brussels sprouts pack a pleasantly bitter punch. Indulge in a side of Alaska king crab black truffle gnocchi, and you might just say, “What entrée?” At first glance, Strip House in the East Village (there is also one in Midtown) looks like a classic American steak house, with plush leather chairs and white tablecloths. But this restaurant does things a bit differently—the scarlet walls, vintage photos of burlesque entertainers and low lighting make the place feel more like an old New Orleans bordello than a cavernous cow palace. It has also taken classic steakhouse

Those staid and silent partners to your entrée (you know them as side dishes) have gotten a makeover and are now serious contenders for the plate’s spotlight. side dishes and elevated them with flavors you wouldn’t expect. Roasted Brussels sprouts come glazed with chili and maple, sautéed haricots verts has the pungent crunch of garlic chips and charred broccoli is served with melted miso butter. The real showstopper, though, is the crisp goose fat potatoes: a mound of diced potatoes, covered in poultry fat and cooked until they have a golden shell. One bite, and you’ll understand exactly why these are so tremendously popular.

DON’T CALL THEM SIDES When a chef has gone so far as to call his sides “accessories,” you know they’re anything but an afterthought. That’s exactly what chef and restaurateur John Fraser has done at The Loyal, his chic American brasserie in the West Village. While entrées are eclectic—like miso-honey chicken, pumpkin ravioli and black bass acqua pazza—the sides are equally alluring: duck-fat tots, salted lamb pilaf, endive-bacon gratin and pureed potatoes doused in lobster gravy. Look to the bar snacks menu for even more ways to, ahem, accessorize.

SIDES, SOUTHERN STYLE You can’t talk about barbecue without mentioning side dishes. The smoky, saucy meats depend on the flavors of what are known in the South as “the fixins” to create lip-smacking meals, which they do at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Harlem (there is also one in Brooklyn). The acclaimed restaurant offers at least a dozen sides that complement its pulled pork, brisket and beef ribs. Spicy nut toppings add a twist to roasted whipped potatoes; crispy coleslaw and mini iceberg wedges bring bursts of freshness, while barbecued beans with pork, mac ’n’ cheese and creamed corn satiate a barbecue-induced craving for comfort food. And soak up your ‘cue juices with fluffy cornbread muffins.

MEZZE MANIA The Middle East and Mediterranean regions have mastered the art of side dishes with mezze, a casual assortment of small plates that serve as either appetizers or the main course, promoting the notion of a side dish to the principal player on the table. Au Za’atar brings the mezze experience to an Arabian-French bistro in the East Village. Grab a group, and order a smattering of side-sized dishes, like tabouleh salad, spicy falafel, fries tossed in sumac and parsley, moussaka, beef-stuffed pastries, grilled halloumi and dips galore.

SIDES AND MORE SIDES Some restaurants in NYC take sides so seriously, they are the main event. Veggie-centric Westville features around 18 market sides on its regular menu and a few daily specials, depending on which of the six locations you visit. The decision won’t be easy one—you’ll need to choose from artichokes with Parmesan, Asian-style bok choy, garlic mashed potatoes, bacon-studded green peas, cauliflower dressed in tahini, and then some. Pick four, and you’ve got a plate full of goodness that will easily hold you until the next meal. Candle Cafe, a low-key vegan joint on the Upper East Side, offers a similar deal with its “Good Food Plate”—your choice of four sides and two dressings or sauces. Since the restaurant doesn’t use animal products, the kitchen’s creativity is channeled into some of the most flavorful plant-based foods in the city, most evident in its side dishes. Brussels sprouts coleslaw is tangy and fresh, quinoa pilaf is light and well-seasoned, collard greens with tempeh bacon bits taste like the real thing, and daily curries add a spicy kick to the menu of some two dozen sides. With so many options, you might never order a main course again.

Romantic bars can be found Uptown, Downtown and all over this town. Here are some of our faves, snuggle-worthy for you and your plus one. By Joni Sweet

IN THIS MONTH OF LOVERS (Valentine's Day, Feb. 14), and in this city, long walks on the beach are not what you’re going to choose for a Hallmark moment. But cold winter nights are ideal for lingering over martinis in a cushy, atmospheric spot with your sweetheart. We picked a couple of places that will set the mood with seductive lighting, fancy cocktails and shareable treats.

THE LIBRARY BAR Think a library can’t be sexy? Think again. The Library Bar at the Hudson New York lures couples with a parlorlike ambience and plenty of discreet nooks. Grab a drink (the bar’s namesake cocktail, made with Woodford Reserve, walnut liqueur and angostura bitters, is spectacular), then find a space that will set the tone for your date. Will it be intimate conversation near the fireplace? A friendly game of pool at the purple felt table? Or perusing Assouline art books on an English leather sofa? Or, heck, just find a spot anywhere and stare into each other’s eyes.

and you’ve got the makings of a date spot that would even impress Jay Gatsby.

BEMELMANS BAR Have a thirst for the glitzy world of Old New York? Nowhere can you get a better swig of it than at Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle. Uniformed waiters deliver strong cocktails, and nightly live jazz keeps the mood bright. The 24-karat gold leaf ceilings and supple leather banquettes stand in stark contrast to the main attraction: colorful, whimsical murals of animals and Central Park-inspired scenes by “Madeline” children’s book creator, Ludwig Bemelmans.

THE SMILE

DANTE

If your idea of romance is a night in a country cabin, get yourself to The Smile. The subterranean bar and restaurant, with brick walls, rustic decor and mini-bouquets of wildflowers on wooden tables, exudes just that comfy village vibe. If you can, sit at the cozy table tucked under the window in the front, or bar seats that flank the stairs leading to the private dining area, and dig into plates of marinated goat cheese and steamed mussels. The decidedly unfussy bar menu, with classic cocktails, popular beers and a thoughtful selection of reds and whites by the glass, makes drink decisions a breeze, allowing you to devote more attention to the one you’re with.

This West Village bar and restaurant seems persistently lively, yet rarely overcrowded. It boasts Instragram-worthy design aesthetics, including vintage signage, checkered floors and whitewashed brick walls. And Dante’s really knows how to pour that romantic Italian drink, the Negroni. Bartenders mix nearly a dozen versions of the red-hued aperitif, and even offer it on tap. Savor a few of these, and you and your date might book a trip to Florence before you even leave the bar.

SPYGLASS ROOFTOP BAR Enamored of New York’s twinkling, towering skyscrapers? Take it all in at Spyglass Rooftop Bar, on the 22nd floor of the Archer Hotel. The Empire State Building dominates the view beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, putting on a display of Art Deco splendor worthy of a city postcard. Add in creative cocktails (like Spice Me Twice: rum, cardamom, citrus and egg white) and glamorous marble bar (with royal purple stools),

THE CAMPBELL BAR It’s pretty hard not to feel smitten by a building as stunning as Grand Central Terminal. Try experiencing it from The Campbell, the transportation hub’s swanky lounge. Let your mood dictate where you sit: The main bar is glorious, with a vintage feel, while the Campbell Palm Court’s palm trees create an alluring ambience for couples. Then, sample the bar’s classic cocktails—three versions of Old Fashioneds, Mules and Negronis, among other favorites. They’ll make a walk under the train station’s starry ceiling even more romantic at the end of the night.

M A D FO R C AC AO Don’t get caught emptyhanded on Cupid’s big day: Spoil your sweetheart with decadent treats from New York’s top chocolate shops.  LA MAISON DU CHOCOLAT This French sweets boutique churns out glistening bonbons and handmade truffles (above) that literally melt in your mouth. Rich flavors, like raspberry, mint and hazelnut, complement (rather than overpower) the addictive bitterness of dark and milk chocolates.  KREUTHER HANDCRAFTED CHOCOLATE Michelin-starred Gabriel Kreuther’s chocolates are a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Bonbons (in flavors like bananas Foster, peanut butter pretzel cassis and grapefruit yogurt) come speckled in vibrant colors and abstract patterns that would give Jackson Pollock a run for his money.  STICK WITH ME SWEETS

Creamy fillings, in flavors like peanut butter and jelly, matcha green tea and yuzu, are stuffed inside domes of colorful chocolate at this shop. The confections come packaged in elegant book boxes that have made celebrities like Oprah swoon.

Martina Pizzeria Seemingly every concept Danny Meyer explores turns to platinum.

Customers at Martina order from a counter and await their food by way of a buzzer. Even when it comes to omnipresent pizza, Danny Meyer and team always have something new. –Sarah Zorn, restaurantgirl.com

Clinton St. Baking Company The blueberry pancakes here are probably the most renowned and dif-

ficult pancakes to get in the city. –Zoe Becker, eating.nyc

Periyali The Greek meatballs in cinnnamon-spiced tomato sauce are tasty, but I would return just for the charcoal-grilled, oh-so-tender, redwine-marinated octopus: Yes, it’s that good. –Bonnie Tandy Leblang, biteofthe best.com
