Quinn's
Leave the angry, self-righteous vegetarians at home: at Quinn's you can eat lots of different parts of lots of different kinds of animals. You've got your standard lived-a-happy-life gourmet beef, but you can also order duck eggs, boccarones (white sardines), rabbit pâté, foie gras, chicken liver, lamb, wild boar, and marrow. Even the fries are prepared in beef tallow. Mmm. If you've got the more pragmatic vegetarian in tow, pickings are slim. Grilled lettuce is all the rage these days, and Quinn's proves it is oh-so-trendy by including it. You know, because warm, wilted, slightly slimy lettuce is the best part of salad. According to the waiter, the risotto was made with veggie broth, but you're taking your moral dining fortitude into your own hands if you believe him. Seriously--he had to read off my menu to explain what was in one of the dishes... not a good sign.
