Places to Eat

The time has come to pull up a chair and order some grub. We prefer places that you won’t find all over the U.S. and even oversees. (a.k.a., chains.) Yes, Yes. We hear the argument when you go to your “usual” place you know exactly what you are going to get. Well, why not venture out and try something new? Chances are you might not only love your tasty meal but you are supporting a local business that is supporting the local economy. Win, Win? We like to think so.

Lox and Bagel Salad at Steuben’s

There is a new Spring menu at Steuben’s with 15 new or reworked items. The changes are inspired by the season and also to “give his team the opportunity to be creative”, says Chef Brandon Biederman, who says most of the menu items were not his ideas, but came from his Sous Chefs. “I have a great team. They all work really hard, and allowing them to lead this menu change was a great way for them to really take ownership and try some new things.” says Biederman. Some of the new menu item standouts so far include; Grilled Salmon with lemon herb Israeli couscous and the Lox & Bagel Salad. Another not to miss item is the Hand Held Apple Pie, perfect for dessert on the go!

Linger Offers Vegan Focused Bruch Menu

Linger Offers Vegan Focused Bruch Menu

Demand for plant-based cuisine is growing. Linger’s brunch offering recognizes this by making 6 of the 18 menu items vegan. The innovative restaurant incorporates local and organic fruits and veggies into recipes, in a creative way, hoping people leave chatting about the cuisine. “When is the last time you heard someone talk about mind-blowing carrots?” asks Culinary Director, Daniel Asher. “People just don’t talk about that. But people need to eat more vegetables. We make that happen with our take on food.”

Linger Serves Breakfast Dosa on New Bruch Menu: Scrambled Eggs, Paneer Cheese, Avocado, Masala Potatoes, Sambar Curry & Cilantro Oil ($12)

Take the Breakfast Dosa, for example. Scrambled eggs, avocado and potatoes sit in a crepe made from rice batter and lentils. The savory crepe is vegan, gluten free and even has probiotics. Served on the side, you have the option of adding a curry, also made of lentils. All of a sudden, this meal is memorable, craveable and is heavy on veggies!

Another menu item to get jazzed about is the chili relleno. The sauce, simply made, is composed of tomato, celery, onion, garlic and arbol chilies. It’s refreshing to see every ingredient is not only healthy but recognizable. “Plant-based cuisine is a beautiful way to demonstrate quality of ingredients and excellence of technique,” says Asher.

Sample Bruch Menu Cocktails: Coconut Fizz: Gin, Coconut, Lime, Sparkling Water ($3)

Smoothies: Anti Milkshake: Almond Cashew Cardamom Milk, Chai, Carrot, Hemp & Cacao. ($7)
