Nature’s Bowl
It may appear that the foot-long Chicago-style lobster hotdog is the biggest oddity at Pier 9, a new seafoody restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen. But it is not! The cheapest item on the menu is also the most notable (to me, and only me) because it’s a bread bowl for your soup. Only three bucks for that carved-out carb vessel. I so want this to be a thing for 2011. If punch can become trendy, why not dips?! Served in bread bowls, of course.
