The Luckiest Number
Monday, July 13, 2009
You enter by squeezing past the subway entrance which is literally directly outside your door; already, No. 7 is a pretty unique place (and yes, dear readers, DO send us photos of all the other restaurants that are directly behind a subway entrance). The first thing you see is a cool bar, then a small lounge area whose windows directly look out on to people coming up from/going down into the C at Lafayette. Then tables behind, in a similarly cool space. And then there is the food, which is simply brilliant; No. 7 easily catapults itself to the top of the Fort Greene restaurant scene with its inventive choices--especially the completely one-of-a-kind Fried Soft Boiled Egg topped with Caviar (pictured). God knows how many of these I could eat; I hope I'm never depressed enough to find out. The cold shrimp salad with jalapeno has a great kick to it; the scallops are cooked perfectly, and, of course, there is steak, with kimchi pierogies. Next up: going to try the fried chicken at brunch. We'll see if No. 7 still bats a thousand...
