TIPSY PARSON (156 Ninth Avenue)

Ok kids, if you haven't been to this find on the Manhattan Foodscape, you have to get there. There are many offerings on the tight menu, but everything is delicious.

Last evening, a cold evening in Manhattan, Guy made reservations for 7:30 and we were seated immediately. It was a quiet night with only four or five other tables seated around us. Each time we go to Tipsy Parson, we notice the heat works-REALLY WELL. But it gets better each time.

We started with a sidecar martini, and that is just where we started. Guy had the Ambrosia Salad which is a deconstructed take on the classic dessert side dish. I opted for the Warm Spinach Salad. Both were yummy. Oh wait, did I forget to mention that we had cheese sticks and hush puppies to tide us over before our salad? WOW! YUMMY! D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!

Then, the Braised Pork Shank with melted apples was Guy's choice for entree. Falling off the bone and deliciously surrounded by essence of apples. I chose the Duck Breast with a Concord Grape reduction and roasted grapes. The perfect accompaniment was a glass of Pinot Noir.
WOW! Unbelievable.

Unlike our other visit, we both wanted dessert. Guy ordered the lemon custard tart and I the bourbon fritters. Both pleased the crowd.

Get there please! NOW!!!

Tell them Mr. B. sent you!!!
