Harlem at fifth (Coupon)

$40 or $80 to Spend at Harlem on Fifth Bar & Grill Harlem on Fifth Bar & Grill

What a great Coupon to utilize in an interesting location. At first I was a little skeptical because I rather coupons that have a set amount of items to choose from but that defeats the purpose of trying new things I guess, Any who ( no more rambling) I really enjoyed my time here with my boo and let me show you why!!

This is one side of their draft beer selection, and being a beer lover, I was able to select all of the lovely beers they has on tap and enjoyed!

TASTING STROLL ON 5TH

5 oz SAMPLING OF OUR SIX CRAFT BEERS$14.95

My Favorite Beers would have to be the Speakeasy, Harlem At fifth (hahahaha), and the Nutty neighbor. The drinks are lined up just the way they are listed, and taste oh so good. 

RIESLING DR. HANS VON MULLER 2011

fruity aroma and semi-dry finish. Mosel, Germany

My boo had a few glasses of this really light and crisp wine. It was a good choice with the meal we had. 

 

Here is a a side of some veggies to indulge in. 

LEMON GLAZED SALMON

lemon, butter, white wine, herbs$22

CANDIED YAMS and Rice on the Side

This dish was interestingly good, but we were advised to get the teriyaki, and I wish we did. The Salmon needed a little Umph or something. It lacked something on int he seasoning but it was edible. 

GRILLED SHRIMP MAC-N-CHEESE

shrimp, cilantro, parsley$12

This was a a cool dish, I wasn't too fond of it. I rather the Crab instead, more flavorful and delicious!!!

BLUE CRAB MAC-N-CHEESE

crab, parsley, panko bread crumbs$12

Here's what I really enjoyed!!!!

The bits and pieces of the blue crab and the mac and cheese here was a real treat! I really enjoyed this a lot

I would highly suggest going here! The staff is great, the food is good/great depending on what flavor you choose lol... All in all a great dinner was had here!

Xicohmexicano

Out in the Berkshires, 

There Special Spicy Margarita Was the bomb.com

I don't recall the actual name, but I do remember it having bits of jalapenos and orange juice in it. A great first start to the dinner out in the Berkshires. 

Caipirinha 

This was my boo's drink... I thought it was a bit weak but he liked it. Nice and sweet and refreshing... makes you wish it were warmer outside and had time to sun gaze. 

Made to order and served in a stone molcajete. Includes tomato, onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lime, and salt. 

Quesadilla Vegetables 10

This Veggie Quesadilla was the bomb.com... I mean I can't remember the last time I went to an establishment and they made their own wraps and it tasting so good like this... I honestly wanted to skip my entree and get another order of this. 

You can't go wrong with well seasoned veggies and cheese to marry the ingredients all together. It's a match made in heaven. 

This was my second drink. I was the waiters choice and promised that I would like it.... he was wrong but I drank it anyway adding the jalapenos from the last drink to it and it knocked my socks off. I gave the suggestion to the bartender...and I guess they will ad it to the menu!

Ceviche Tropical $ 11.

Our fresh selection of fish and shrimp in lime and light red salsa

First time really having ceviche and I tell you this much, I am a firm believer of this stuff. It was so good I mean it felt like we were at sea and a little lime and avocado made the dish sing. Oh how I could go for some more now as I write this! 

Wild Salmon a la Veracruzana 25.

Sautéed with tomato, onions, garlic and jalapeño, served with field greens and rice

There were two salmon dishes... very misleading if I must say... One was wild.. which is my dish and the other al fuego....

I can tell you that the salmon was not wild...but it was delicious nonetheless and no complain except for the false notion of it being wild...  I loved the rice, and the tomatoes and the salad on top... I felt like I was at home with this plate of food. The chef knows what he is doing :) 

Salmon al Fuego $ 20.

Broiled marinated salmon on a bed of sautéed wild mushrooms, served over organic mesclun greens

This dish, which also had rice, was really nice. I couldn't decided which one I liked the best... so we shared both plates with one another. I could have done without the mushrooms...which is why he got that order and I got mine.... A must try.

Tres leche

This was a nice way to end the entire meal. Nice and juicy cake with fresh fruit and whipped cream all around it, yummerzzz

When I am back out there I will def try some other dishes and order the two apps again hands down! 

I wish they had other tropical items on the menu... because of the location they don't get plantains, and other items.... but it''s still worth a try. Go check them out you will not be disappointed!.

Cove Lounge (Happy Hour Time!)

What an amazing Happy hour with the booski!!! 

Lets jump right in...

LOBSTER ROLL

$18

Fresh Lobster served on a warm Garlic Bun with Truffle Fries

The Lobster roll was really really good. I really enjoyed the truffles fries the most though. Something about their seasoned fries just feels comforting and the hint of truffle oil in the background just make it go over the top. The lobster roll had enough veggies in it. Nice light mayo flavor, full lobster taste. The bread was a potato bread and it did not over power the whole dish. I would get this again. (oh we shared this dish...You'll see why)

The happy hour wine are all the house wines you find on sale at your local wine shop. That didn't bother me, I was also happy that the bartender had us finish the bottle at no extra cost for the happy hour!!! LUSH.COM Yes I AM

SPICED FRIES

$7

Crispy home fries seasoned with Cove Special Spice Blend

The spiced fries are heavenly, so heavenly we ordered two of them one for me one for him. Something in the spice in unforgettable, it's also fried well, every fry is edible, nothing goes to waste in that basket...that's all I have to say. 

This is the red wine I got. The rest of the bottle was emptied out by me and I was extremely happy about that!!

CRAB RANGOONS

$12

with Honey Sesame Sauce and Spicy Szechuan Sauce

These Crab Rangoons are ridiculous, another dish that is ordered in twos. On the Happy hour menu they are half priced, which makes it easier to buy more. The filling is pure crab meat and cream cheese. The wontons are fried correctly and they are not greasy at all, that's a major plus. The sauce on top gives off the perfect balance of sweet to the dish. Your mouth will go through a sweet, fried, savory roller coaster in a matter of 3 seconds, and you will want that over and over again. 

This was a shocker drink ( compliments from the bartender) who understood from my first visit that I love whiskey. He made a old fashion with egg white. Boy was this drink STRONG and good at the same time. Now don't get me wrong... I still  feel a way about the egg whites, but I made my boo drink most of it >.< hahahahaha. Other then that, this would have to be a winterish drink if anything. 

                        LOBSTER MAC N' CHEESE

                             Creamy mac n' cheese layered with tender fresh Lobster

The lobster mac and cheese was super different from what I've been used to. The bechmel sauce was super flavorful and smooth. The lobster is cut up a little to small for me, but the lobster roll made up for all of that. I would def recommend this dish for sharing or even for your self!!

This is an awesome low key place. Great vibe, awesome staff, and great food to accommodate. If your in the Harlem area I would def check them out. 

Until next time!!

Yum Yum Lunch solo

Lunch alone at my favorite spot is quite relaxing. 

Before getting a glimpse of what i had for Lunch.. peep the bill first. This is a lunch to truly remember... I love 9th Ave Hells Kitchen.

In this picture, We have three things. One is the frozen margarita that was only $5 as listed on the receipt. It was so delicious, strong, and cold! A perfect drink for the summer time, and a perfect price for lunch.

Along side the drink, I have two appetizers. One is a coconut milk soup, the other is chicken and shrimp dumplings. I could have chosen two other things with my lunch special, but these were my favorite ones. I really love the soup... any time of year, it just taste really good.. the dumplings were eh okay I guess....

My main dish was the Chicken Panang Curry. This was heavenly with brown rice. Not too spicy, as I love when it is.... and just the right amount of chicken and veggies to go along with it. 

This has to be my most favorite lunch ever!!! I highly recommend going here!

Babylon Carriage House (Happy Hour)

Happy Hour with the Booski!!! 

I've seen this [lace in passing but never knew how it would be like...

Happy hour consist of two for one Well drinks.. and it is imperative that they give you both at the same time... The drinks were pretty weak but what ever... it was cheap

My babe went with wine... Smart choice because the alcohol in there can't be tampered with!!! He liked it even though it was house wine... Does it matter? 

All the appetizers that will follow will only cost $5 a pop.. 

BCH Famous Thai Calamari Bowl*

Sweet Peppers, Peanuts, Cilantro, Lime, Sweet Chili Glaze

Here is the Calamari. We really enjoyed this dish. I mean it was flavorful, and different for an American bar. It had a lot of Asian inspired flavors which you could never really go wrong with. 

The wings.... the wings I would not really order again, just because the thought of spicy doesn't stick well with most people. They were not hot at all and for those who swear a little spice is much... they need to have at least try half of the dishes my mom makes!!!

Spinach & Artichoke Dip

Crispy Tortilla Chip

Spanish Artichoke dip...ummmmm yum yum yum. For only $5 this was all mines!!! Yes I ate every last chip and every square  inch of that dip was gone!! It had four cheeses which is not normal to most dips but it was delicious. I would go back for this again!!!

Fresh Mozzarella

Eggplant Caponata, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Aged Balsamic

This thing here.. Eh I could care less for. This was all for my boo. He enjoyed it I ... not so much. It was a mozzarella tomato bread concoction... It was blah to me at best...

Margarita Pizzette

Tomatoes, Mozzarella, Basil, Balsamic

The margarita pizza was amazing!! It had a drizzle of balsamic vinegar (very different) and small specs of basil. Each bite was really really good. All this carb over load... Surprise I'm not fat HAHAHAHA

Happy Hour ends at 7, which in most cases suck because of my commute from the city to these Long island spots. However, for the short time there we had a nice time. Live music, and great people at the bar. There are other spots in the area, and if I had to compare this to the other ones I've been to.. i'd say the extra half hour gives this place an edge...

P.S. We had a Irish car Bomb to help with lack of alcohol in the drinks... and the bartender hooked us up with a pretty decent shot!!

Till next time!!!
