Lunch

An encore of “Afternoon Delights” specials—bar snacks rolled out for happy hour and again after 10 p.m.—staves off hunger till last call. Staff point to the half-pound cheeseburger ($5, or roughly half off) as a perennial favorite. I’m partial to the crab cake sandwich (zesty tartar sauce is tops) and chicken sandwich #1 (grilled bird, lusty bacon, mellow Muenster).

A go-to item prepared in various iterations (sometimes as a flaky napoleon, others as a wood-fired pizza), wild mushrooms work best here when intermingled with gnocchi ($14.95)—arranging a forest of seasonal funghi, asparagus and spinach amidst tender potato dumplings.
