56 West

We had dinner the last with some friends at 56 West.  It's a lovely casual restaurant with reasonable prices.  Most of the items on the menu end either on even dollar values or fifty-six cents.  Mostly I go to this place on Sunday mornings for their Pajama Brunch.  For $8.56, you get an all you can eat breakfast food including pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage, chorizo, fresh fruits, eggs Benedict, and omelets made to order.  Also, the servers are in their pajamas and encourage patrons to do the same!

For lunch and dinner, 56 West specializes in burgers and sandwiches.   The menu items are named after romantic concepts.  For example, cheese fries are named Instant Gratification.

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP
Fresh spinach and artichoke hearts whipped in a blend of sour cream and
cream cheese-served with fresh sliced baguette.  There were originally 4 more pieces of baguette with the appetizer, but I forgot to take the picture before we started.   Yummy!

BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE
Chargrilled burger with crisp Pancetta, fried egg, American cheese, lettuce,
and tomato.

FRIEND WITH BENEFITS
Burger topped with our chipotle sauce, applesmoked bacon, Vermont cheddar
cheese, fried onion straws.

 For each of the burgers, you could choose between a wheat or white bun or having a baguette.  The burger was large enough for me to enjoy again today at lunch!
