Abe & Arthur’s New York

The Friday before we left for San Diego, we went out to dinner with Jason and Allison, Ken’s coworker and girlfriend. We went to Abe & Arthur’s in the meatpacking district because Allison really liked their dessert and we had a really good Gilt City voucher for steaks and sides so we figured it would be the perfect double date dinner spot. The restaurant was packed on a Friday night – we sat by a huge table of teenagers who were celebrating a birthday (or multiple birthday’s?) and also a bunch of guys celebrating a bachelor party. The service was really wonderful and the food was better than I thought it would be – here’s the whole cauliflower, steak for two, mushrooms, and pureed potatoes:

For dessert, I missed the shot but we ordered the cheesecake in a jar and another chocolate dessert (Ken said they were both delicious!) Definitely not a bad choice if you’re looking for something to eat and you’re in the meatpacking district. They even have phone chargers in the bathroom (although I don’t think they have the iPhone5 chargers yet)
