adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Pursuit: 6 Cents ] DBGB
Wow this has been a heavy food week! I apologize for all the heavy food posts. I swear, onto more puppies and tuneage and other stuff soon. Until then.
I want to give my brief weigh in on Daniel Boulud’s new joint in the Avalon monstrosity on Bowery (229 Bowery) called DBGB.
Going on = zero expectations. His truffle burger is legendary, but an entire joint? I thought it would be like the Burger Joint @ Le Parker Meridian had a baby with an insincere frenchman, it just wouldn’t make sense.  And some of the menu is like that - displaced (although still good quality) in a restaurant that’s menu is clearly driven by 3 things: beer, burgers & sausage. The latter knocking it out of the park.
Some standouts:
Spicy Crab Cake
Matzoh Ball Soup
Grilled Octopus
Eggplant Caviar
Duck meatballs
Crispy Lamb Ribs
Mackerel & Capers Tartine
Piggie Burger (have to get at least one, this is the best!)
And most importantly…any and all sausages our fav was Viennoise
I didn’t get to try the regular DBGB dog, but it looked tasty. Full menu here.
Order beer. This is definitely a beer joint. Their list is good and affordable (mostly $7 drafts)
