A few weeks back, I was invited to check out The Pitch & Fork on the UES, on 1st Ave between 83rd and 84th. Here’s five reasons why you should check it out too: 1). The croquettes: We started the meal with the gruyere croquettes with a horseradish sauce. We thought these were delicious and liked the flavor paired with the tangy horseradish sauce. Then again, anything with a cheesy inside wins in my book. We got 4 or 5 of these in a serving. We also ordered the St. Louis spare ribs, but to be honest, the BBQ sauce did nothing for me. Go for the croquettes. 2). The atmosphere: I lived on the UES at a time where most places I went to were no more than $15 an entree. The Pitch & 3). Chicken, shallots and bacon, oh my! The waitress was very helpful when it came to ordering my dish, and suggested I give the chicken cooked under a brick a try ($23) – she felt between this dish and the fish, it had the most flavor. I enjoyed this dish – you could taste a hint of bacon, but it wasn’t overly salty – the bacon was cooked on the chicken, but looked almost like a skin, making you wonder – is this a skin or the bacon? The portion was a big size, and after snacking on appetizers, it was a struggle to finish. 4). Cocktails!: I’m a beer girl, but since the Pitch & Fork is known for their cocktails, I had to give one a try. I had the East Side – a combination of gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, mint and cucumber. It was very refreshing on a hot spring night. Cocktails are pricey at $12, but I’d consider sitting at the bar here and ordering from the bar menu if looking for a first date spot. 5). Can’t make it for lunch or dinner? How about brunch? For $27, enjoy your entree and unlimited mimosas, champagne or bloody marys for 2 hours (or til 4pm if you get there late). The buttermilk pancakes with the raspberry marmalade sound yummy! The Basics Name: The Pitch & Fork Location: 1606 1st Ave between 83rd and 84th St Who to Bring: Date Price: $$$ Entrees between $20-$30 Overall: A great date spot on the UES. 4 Stars.One free thing to take advantage of in the summer is Shakespeare in the Park (that is, Central Park). Why? Tickets are free! I went The show begins at 8:30pm and you can find the schedule here. Now I’m sure you are wondering – how do you get free tickets?

Now through August 21, swing by Pier 64 on W 24th Street for
Swing by 
last summer, and it was definitely something different to do. There are two shows playing this summer, and the first one is the Comedy Of Errors, running May 28 – June 30. I’m particularly psyched about this show because it stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson from Modern Family. Running from July 23 – August 18 is Love’s Labour’s Lost, a New Musical.
