NYC FOODIE OPENING OF THE WEEK: THE TRILBY

What was once Table 8, and then Faustina, has reicarnated into The Trilby, the new bar in the Cooper Square Hotel. Unlike the previous two restaurants, this is now a bar first, which happens to serve really good food. There is a cool bar upon entering, with a sexier lounge in the back. This is the perfect place on the Bowery to grab a beer or drink, and if you are hungry, then the food will not disappoint too. 

The six minute egg ($6) on toast, with anchovy and spinach is excellent. I loved the touch of saltiness the anchovy gives this bar snack. If you desire a snack, this is a must order.

Warm artichoke dip ($10), served with toast is some of the best artichoke dip I've had. It's made with yogurt and tofu, which is unique and great. Order it.

For those craving a little bit of pasta, try The Trilby's burrata gnocchi ($13), with cherry tomatoes, it's creamy and tasty.

This wouldn't be a bar without a burger. The buger here ($15) is juicy and straightforward. Served with Vermont cheddar, fries, and a "special sauce", it will surely satisfy your burger craving.

The bar steak ($22), with sautéed pea shoots, fries, and bérnaise, is flavorful and perfect.
