Can Almost Taste The Smith at 9th and F!!

By Prince Of Petworth

A reader reports: “Signage for The Smith 9th and F going up right now!”

This is the former McCormick and Schmick’s space. You can see their NYC menus here. The Smith is slated to open “early 2017.”

The Smith is a casual American Brasserie with three upbeat locations in New York City: The Smith East Village, overlooking bustling Third Avenue, The Smith Midtown, in the heart of Manhattan, located on 51st Street and Second Avenue and The Smith Lincoln Center directly across from historic Lincoln Center.

Utilizing local products and purveyors, the breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner menus feature a selection of familiar bistro dishes. Signature dishes at all locations include Crispy Fried Calamari “Brooklyn Style,” Pot of Mussels with chardonnay-dijon broth and perfectly cooked hand cut fries and four different cuts of steak prepared char broiled, served with a choice of homemade sauces including béarnaise, green peppercorn and chimichurri. Most of the desserts are fun twists on classics, including Sticky Toffee Pudding, S’mores in a Jar and Hot Fudge Sundae with almond bark and flourless chocolate cake.

Our bars offer an elaborate menu of classic and signature cocktails made with fresh fruit and herbs. We serve seven local hand crafted beers on tap and have a selection of 20 wines available by the glass or carafe as well as a hand selected bottle list.

The crowd at The Smith is eclectic, attracting after-work colleagues, late-night revelers, families for Sunday brunch and more. Our guests come for all occasions – a drink after work, a quick bite before a movie, a business dinner, or to celebrate a birthday.

Finally the news about the Neighborhood Restaurant Group’s plans for the former GBD space – Red Apron Burger Bar!

burger

The Washington Post reports a mid-January opening:

“The burgers will be built from the meat of grass-fed or grass-fed-and-grain-finished cattle only. There will be no patties with beef from grain-fed cows. The price of the burgers will reflect the provenance of the meat: A single, 3-ounce patty will cost $5.85; a double-meat burger, $8.95. Anda is still pricing out the cost of the burger with meat from the grass-fed Ancient White Park steer.”

“Festive Holiday Dinner Recommendations?”

“My husband and I are spending Christmas in DC for the first time in 10 years (and are beyond excited!!) We always go out for Christmas Eve dinner, I wanted to do 1789 but lost out to him for the Oval Room. Well, the Oval Room’s menu didn’t strike either of us as what we were looking for. 1789 is full of course, so now we’re looking for alternatives.

We really want something festive and preferably close to the Warner Theater or the National Christmas Tree as that is what we are doing beforehand.”
