NYC – 11/6/15 – Lupulo

Lupulo has quickly become one of my favorite new places.  Proximity to where I often workout does not hurt as I am typically starving when I walk by.  But everything on the menu is fantastic and the red snapper I could easily eat everyday (and if it were less expensive I would double order).  My only criticism is that I don’t really love anything on the wine’s by the glass list and think the selections could be improved.  Nonetheless Lupulo will remain in heavy rotation!

Red snapper cru – red snapper, coconut milk, kaffir-lime broth, fermented serrano, benne seeds
 Pato coracoes – grilled duck hearts with pickled mango, shishito peppers, pimenton
 Beterrabas com hortela e coco – roasted and smoked beets with mint, coconut

NYC – 10/16/15 – Lupulo

How fortuitous that I find myself in this neighborhood very often. There may be a few subsequent posts but this is one that will have to drop off of my blog as I like it too much. All of these dishes I could eat everyday and its a challenge to try other things on the menu.

Pate de Carapau – Portuguese mackerel spread, toast

Salada de Tomate e Requeijao – Eckerton Farms tomato salad, fresh cows milk cheese, opal basil and olive oil

Red Snapper Cru – Red snapper served raw, coconut milk, kaffir-lime broth, fermented serrano, benne seeds
