Bryant Park Grits
Grits are often maligned for their blandness. It's a bit unfair--they are a nice blank canvas after all for all sorts of flavors.
Cue Daisy's Grits, a booth in the Bryant Park pop-up shops. Daisy's is awfully cute, but the menu is pretty sophisticated: lobster grits ($6.45 for a small), goat cheese grits ($4.95, small) and honey & butter grits ($4.45, small) make a tasty snack after a strenuous hour of ice skating at Bryant Park.
We were delighted to find grits, that staple of the American south, tucked away in a cute booth in Bryant Park. Better yet was the impressive array of flavors -- everything from asiago to shrimp. Move over, risotto!
