For a story on the British invasion — great British chefs and their food making their way to the U.S. — Kris, Tom, Irene and I visited The Wren in the East Village.
Cocchi Cup: Cocchi Americano, Mint, Cucumber, Ginger Beer, Lime:
It’s been quite a while between the time since we visited and when I’m writing this, so I frankly don’t remember the nuaces of the cocktails, but I will tell you this: they were expertly made and delicious.
Strawberry Fields: Damrack Gin, Strega, Lemon, Basil, Strawberries, Rocks:
And the place is adorable, too:
Our nibbles:
Roasted Tomatoes with Salvatore Ricotta:
Fries with malt vinegar mayo:
Chicken liver mousse:
A perfect little plate!
The Wren: An adorable pub-cafe with terrific cocktails and little nibbles, and a full menu, too. Open, airy, cozy and terrific fun. 344 Bowery, Manhattan. 212-388-0148, thewrennyc.com.
