My Tummy Talks About: 68 Bar and Restaurant

So we went here tonight. The menu looked great and it was close and we wanted to try something new. They have a lot of choices if you don't want meat, and we don't.

It's super cozy looking inside. I say, looking, because even though it's now only 70 degrees outside, it was about 90 inside. It was hot enough that Josh asked them to open the door. Which they did, and that definitely helped, but it made me wonder what it would be like on an actual hot night in summer. None too pleasant, I assume.

Salads were good. I ordered the Macaroni and Cheese. Not too hard to fuck up, though some places do it better than others, obviously. This place=not so good. First off, it was TINY. Basically a side dish. And while it wasn't expensive ($10), it was simply not enough food for an entree. Also, it wasn't very good. They didn't make a cheese sauce at all, merely dumped the macaroni in a little dish and grated the cheese over top then baked it for a few minutes, so that when I dug in, all the cheese came off at once, I ate that, then was left with the sad little oily noodles to eat. SAD.

Josh had Mushroom Risotto. He had to send the first one back because the risotto was so hard! But, they did make him a new one, and that one was very good.

They have good coffee, I'll give them that. Though I know it's a new place, we probably won't be back, at least until it's cold outside.

68 Bar and Restaurant is at 68 Greenpoint Avenue between Franklin and Manhattan in Greenpoint.
