The Stanton Social, Lower East Side

I again didn’t take food pics at The Stanton Social, but I think these descriptions speak for themselves. It was a fantastic, innovative dinner and I can’t wait to return. Perhaps to try the brunch menu?
Here’s what I ate, in order of favorite to least favorite:
- Red Snapper Tacos with creamy avocado & spicy mango
- Wild Mushroom Risotto Cakes dusted with parmagiano and crispy mushroom chips
- Mac and Cheese with chorizo and ovendried tomato
- Stone-ground Blue Corn Crabcake ‘Corn Dogs’
- Grilled Cheese Slider with Jasper Hill Farms cheddar, house cured jalapeño bacon, fried green tomato, and lemon aioli
- Chipotle Grilled Shrimp with tomatillo and feta relish
- Grilled apple and brie quesadilla with mustard-maple glaze and smoked bacon bits
- Wasabi pea crusted Salmon with asian pesto & soba noodle-beet salad
All washed down with a Blood Orange-Jalapeño Margarita that unfortunately did not hold a torch to the incredible Guava-Red Chili concoction I had last week at Public. Oh well, the excellent food, good girlfriends, and sexy ambience more than made up for the missed cocktail.
