Also at 7080 E. 22nd St. (867-6050). Walking into this little midtown joint, the smoky, sweet smell of barbecued meat will hit you, and youll think: Theres no way BrushFires meats can taste as good as they smell. Well, they can, and do. The brisket is a revelation, and the rib meat is literally falling off of the bones. Finish off the meal with the baked beans and some corn on the cob, and youll be fat and happy. (11-29-07)
Offering a variety of comfort food with a bistro twist—think macaroni and cheese, grilled-cheese sandwiches, burgers and more—and an affordable, diverse wine list, 47 Scott is a great place for a casual dinner before a show. The ingredients are fresh, and the food is expertly prepared. However, if you're going for lunch, be sure you have a little extra time. (10-14-10)
