After attending the NYC Chocolate Festival, my friends and I needed ‘real‘ food. We had spent almost 2 hours sampling all sorts of chocolate yummies and actually were getting sick of the smell of chocolate. I recommend every do that at least once in their lifetime!
So with nothing in particular in mind, us 5 young women wondered the rainy streets of New York City trying to find a good place to eat with reasonable prices and with drinks too!. We ended up at the Channel 4 Irish Pub and Restaurant at 58 West 48th Street (between 5th and 6th). I started with a Bikini Martini which had Malibu rum, Bacardi, orange juice and pineapple juice. Didn’t thrill me. I ordered a lobster salad sandwich with saffron mayonnaise, chives, celery, lettuce and tomato.
Several of the girls went in together and ordered a very nice and large appetizer platter. They had a list of appetizers and you could chose any from the list and as many as you wanted (the price obviously is different based on the quantity you chose). It is called the NBC platter and isn’t listed on their main menu, you have to ask to see their pub menu. They chose the buffalo chicken tenders, calamari, crab cakes, minu burgers, scallops with bacon, and Cajun shrimp. Every thing was good but the shrimp got the highest rating! That was determined to be ‘awesome’! The mini burgers were good and the calamari was very bland.
No one was too impressed with their drinks and at about $10 a pop, which was sad but not an unusual price for NYC. Sue liked her pomegranate margarita the best and even got a 2nd one! I think they had good prices on beer but unfortunately I didn’t mark anything down.
