Gracenote Coffee Roasters | Leather District
Lattes at Gracenote Coffee: This tiny espresso bar at
108 Lincoln Street is conveniently located right where the bus drops me off every
morning. Even if you don't take a Mass Pike express bus into town this independent roaster is worth a visit. The
finest beans sourced from for example: La Papaya Farm in
Ecuador, Misty Valley, Ethiopia and Irati AB, Kenya are meticulously
roasted.
Strong and rich espresso with thick frothy milk, this is one
of the best lattes I have ever had. The barista art puts a
smile on my face and makes them photo worthy, every time. (Yes, there are three different lattes pictured here. Give them a second glance and you can tell! So pretty!)
Granary Tavern | Financial District
The New Guinness Nitro IPA alongside BBQ Pork Nachos ($12) and Fried Chicken + Waffles ($17) at Granary Tavern. The nachos are next level with house made potato chips, pickled onions, fresh cheese + avocado aioli. And with an ideal ratio of chicken to waffle to maple drizzle + honey butter, the latter dish is a home run.
Townsman | Edge of FiDi and Chinatown
A single cocktail at Townsman: the Green Girder ($12) with Beefeater Gin, fresh celery juice, smoke and salt. The cocktail was terrific and I love cocktails with a celery element! The fact that I haven't had a meal here yet and I work SO close is inexcusable. They are sweeping every publications best new restaurant category, pretty much every where you turn there's a positive buzz about Townsman. One of these days....
Silvertone | Downtown Crossing
Ultimate comfort food at Silvertone: Mac + Cheese ($10) topped with toasted buttered breadcrumbs + peas and Meatloaf + Mashed Potatoes ($12) with brown gravy + the vegetable of the day, bok choy.
Where have you guys been eating + drinking lately? New hotspots? Old favorites?
Townsman - i NEED to get there when we're home! And I totally feel you on the sour beers. Next time you guys come out here, you must go to de Garde in Tillamook!
ReplyDeleteI love Granary Tavern! The food is always good and the prices are great, too! I always see the Silvertone in Downtown crossing and wonder how it is- looks great! And, I've only been to Branchline once for drinks but it's on our must try soon list because I love the vibe and the menu looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this post! I want to try the Townsman, heard good things!
ReplyDeleteI used to work steps from Granary, a great spot. Have you been to Ogawa Coffee yet? I still need to get to Branch Line. In December for sure!
