Danny Meyer's North End Grill Has $58 Steaks, $48 Mess
22.05.12
North End Grill is the new power
spot of choice for Lower Manhattan .
The steak is $58. The official drink is Scotch. And the
clientele are the corner-office denizens of Wall Street and
Hanover Square.
No tasting menus push client dinners past the three-hour
mark; no prix-fixe policies forcing a full stomach to confront
dessert. There are no petits fours, no intermezzos. Don’t expect
a ribbon-wrapped parting gift.
Also no tripe: Danny Meyer ’s latest is expensive and safe
for the offal-averse.
At North End, the party’s inside, where it smells like
cumin, courtesy of Chef Floyd Cardoz, rallying from his Indian
love affair at the now-closed Tabla . He’s sending out spiced
fries, which is about as adventurous as things will get.
Try a few bar snacks, which are sort of like amuse bouches
except that you have to pay for them.
Three buffalo wings are $9. Why? Because they’re Poulet
Rouge, the Kobe beef of chicken. The bird is slow-cooked in duck
fat, deboned and grilled. Not your typical Atomic wings.
