Smiling, happy people at “Blue Smoke”
“Blue Smoke”, a relative veteran in the recent barbecue restaurant trend in Manhattan, is a breezy, popular east-side restaurant on 27th street, that was bustling with beautiful people happy to be eating ribs, drinking beer and enjoying their summer (on a weekday).
The calamari appetizer (picture 1) was unusual in that the crust had a spicy twist which was delicious - also, the pieces were crisp, dry and not oily at all. The wings (picture 2) were absolute delicious. I only wish we got more. I was in a non-meat mood, so I had the salmon (I know, I know at a barbecue restaurant, what’s up with that); but, I have to say, the fish, on a bed of summer pea puree, and surrounded by healthy artichokes and baby carrots (picture 4), was one of the more refreshing salmon entrees I have had in what has become the ubiquitous necessity dish on most Manhattan menus (like steak or a burger).
Visit “Blue Smoke”, smile and be happy.
