When shopping in Chelsea,
whether at a high-class boutique or digging through the bargains at Marshalls,
a girl can get pretty darn hungry. While Chelsea has some great spots to enjoy a serious cocktail and you know you can get great pizza at Donatella,
where do you go for a healthy, flavorful dinner or lunch that any of your
shopping companions will love?
Highpoint Bistro and Bar
should be your new go-to spot for a post-shopping meal in Chelsea. This best
kept secret is pretty unknown probably because of their modest décor as you
pass by on busy Seventh Avenue. While there’s outdoor seating - which we
all love in NYC on a warm fall day - when you peak inside, Highpoint just
appears to be a cute, clean bar. But listen up; it is so much more than a stop
to grab a quick drink.
The long menu at Highpoint
offers dishes for everyone. You know that vegetarian or picky eater who isn’t
happy unless they choose the restaurant? Even those friends will be thrilled with
the options at Highpoint. This menu is packed with starters, meals and sides
for Vegetarians, seafood lovers and meat-eaters, and can even satisfy your fall
comfort food cravings.
The meal appropriately
starts with bread served in a shopping cart. And not just any bread; but hot,
made-to-order, fluffy seasoned bread. This naan-like offering is enough to make
carb lovers come back to Highpoint again and again.
Kids of any age will freak
out over the Mini Kobe Corn Dogs! These delicious bites are served with spicy
mustard and would make the perfect party platter appetizer at your next
apartment get together.
The Tuna Tartare Tacos are
a standout bite when looking to share a starter at the table. Fresh raw tuna is
topped with tobiko, avocado mousse, cucumber noodles and spicy mayo, bringing
your favorite sushi plate all the way to Mexico.
For entrees, there are
some non-traditional takes on some traditional offerings. “Not Your Mother’s”
Meatloaf is the perfect example. The meatloaf itself is served in the shape of
a giant meatball, rather than a sliced loaf. Rather than being wrapped in
unhealthy bacon, this meatball of sorts is coated in a flavorful barbecue sauce, served with truffle mac-n-cheese, baby carrots and green beans.
A popular vegetarian dish
is the Watermelon “Steak” au Poivre, highlighting a grilled watermelon served
with shaved jicama, asparagus, grapefruit and tomato. Veggies and fruit may
sound light, but this meal is somehow hearty enough to fill up any vegetarian
or meat lover who wants to mix up their routine.
Before you shop until you
(literally) drop in Chelsea, visit Highpoint for a delicious and healthy meal,
before getting right back out there nabbing the next biggest sale with the rest
of NYC’s fashionistas.
