Askew offers New Yorkers a culinary bang for the buck!
Manhattan is home to a wide range of outstanding choices for dining but typically with a hefty price tag.
In a city where quality food can command top dollar, Askew in the Greenwich Village is a rare gem treating New Yorkers to the best of both worlds-top notch food and a bargain.
Askew\'s Executive Chef Chris Lim (formerly of Daniel, Town, and Upstairs at 21) presents inventive, quality small plates minus the fuss and price tag of its fine dining counterparts.
Tailored for sharing, guests can easily enjoy a meal of multiple small plates for under $25 and experience many sophisticated flavors.
Tucked away on LaGuardia Place, Askew breaks up the area\'s homogeneous college atmosphere with its sophisticated menu and a bright, modern aesthetic- created by world-renowned designer Karim Rashid.
Some menu highlights include:
Chickpea Crepe rolled with a filling of Parmesan Reggiano, olive tapenade, piquillo peppers, and arugula ($6)
Beets and Red Cabbage with Montrachet goat cheese mousse, Asian pear, and sesame ($8)
Crawfish \"Hushpuppies\" with red onion, cilantro, and lemon ($8)
Poppyseed Gnocchi - hand rolled daily and now with a bright arugula pesto for summer ($9)
Free-Range Jerk Chicken with green mango slaw and habanero orange glaze ($9)
Baked Fontina with Bosc pear, leek fondue and truffle honey ($12)
Bacon-wrapped Sea Scallops with maple gastrique and grapefruit ($12)
Dessert: Vanilla Panna Cotta with Ricotta Cheese ($7) Apple Strudel with four year aged Gouda and spiced walnuts ($9)
The quality of food, technique, presentation, and decor at Askew is what restaurant goers could expect from some of the more exclusive restaurants in Manhattan.
However, at Askew Executive Chef Chris Lim and owner Edwin Chong are committed not only to offering quality food with a fine dining sensibility, but a price point and atmosphere that is much more accessible.
Askew\'s location: 504 La Guardia Place New York NY 10012 Between Bleecker and Houston above Soho in the Greenwich Village
