MB POST
Took a mid-day drive to Manhattan and ended up getting a parking spot right next to MB Post, and wouldn’t you know it, they had a table open, so we stopped in for a quick nip.
Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits with Maple Butter
The Ultimate. Manna. They seriously get better with every visit somehow
Truffle Honey-laced Fried Chicken (with Kohlrabi Slaw)
_slaw sho_t
I have to say that I’m in the @Aesthete camp of Howlin’ Rays nearly ruining all other fried fowl, but this rendition would make for a very solid brunch dish. The truffle comes through nicely, the chicken is juicy, and it’s an especially nice bite when combined with the tang of the slaw. Still, for $17, I would find it kind of tough to rationalize another order when in the back of my mind, I know that a Howlin’ Rays’ Half Bird is $15.
My cocktail was a bit of a let down, unfortunately. I had The Golden Hind, which is sold as a passion fruit mojito, but all that came through was the Luxardo. A bummer for $12.50. Had a few sips of the Avila’s Heir, which is a spicy margarita, and that was much better, if not memorable.

Afterwards, we walked down to the end of the pier, and I got a nice Flat White from the Two Guns Espresso cafe that sits next to the free lil aquarium.
Weekends are the best.
