Bubby's Highline son of Bubby's Tribeca is relatively new and the best Bubby's yet. A big, generous, corner space with a little area in the back for a quick coffee or light bight. All the purveyors Bubby's uses is listed on the back of the menu and it is impressive. The classic American grub is so well done here, I have been here several times recently and the meals are utter perfection. Spiced apple cider is a warm way to start a meal. Cornmeal encrusted whole trout with yellow potatoes and cherry vinegar peppers was tasty, and hearty for $26. There is great value for the quality of the food. House-made ice-cream- Rocky Road is no better way to finish a meal. Of course, Bubby's is known for their pies and their homemade desserts are a wonderful topper to a top of the line meal. Love the moist cupcakes.
GO! GO!
The back of Carmine's is a surprise- red checkered table-clothed red sauce joint with a hankering for the Yankees. The bread here is house-made and the bruschetta that comes with it a fun difference from just extra virgin olive oil served at so many new wave Italians. The food here is good and cheap. My eggplant parm. with spaghetti was $10 and generous. Tasty, real eggplant with gooey cheese on top was satisfying. Fresh broccoli rabe with garlic was made to order and super. The sauce here while good is not deeply inspired like Joe's of Ave U or La Palina- my personal fave red sauce joints, nevertheless, this is a fine nabe spot to chow down.
When on Graham- GO!
