Having Fun And Trying Lily’s New Fall Lunch Menu
Posted on 21. Oct, 2010 by BrianSimpson in Hotel, Lily's Restaurant
When you mix a crisp day in NYC, a new Fall lunch menu and two people that love take pictures of everything – the end result is this:
Adam and Brian’s “Big Words” Lunch Review at Lily’s Restaurant.
Recently our Chef, Daniel Mowles, released his teams Fall lunch menu and we were excited to try it. We each started with the ‘soup of the day’ which happened to be Clam Chowder (pronounced Chowdah). Not to creamy, nicely seasoned, small potatoes, clams in every bite and fresh, warm rustic bread to clean the bowl! As a main course Adam enjoyed the Papperdelle Pasta, served with broccoli rabe, hen of the woods mushrooms, roasted shaved garlic and fresh pecorino romano cheese. I opted for the Market Salad which boasted house-made pickled root vegetables, roasted cauliflower, forest mushrooms, sliced breakfast radish and a vegetable puree dressing.
For dessert Jesus, our server and all around great guy, suggested the Five Spice Apple Tart. The smell alone of the spices, especially the cinnamon, were enough to prompt us to order a second!
To wash it all down an espresso and a cappuccino…
Next up – the dinner menu…and wine!
Special thanks for appearing in our post and making lunch enjoyable:

Swedish Whisky in New York, Tasting at the Roger Smith
Posted on 22. Sep, 2009 by AdamWallace in Events, Hotel, Lily's Restaurant
At the 23 of September we will host an evening of Swedish Whisky at The Roger Smith Hotel (501 Lexington Ave). We are happy to invite you to sample and discuss the presence of Mackmyra Swedish Whisky in New York. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to mail or call.
Small casks, Swedish oak and storage in Bodås mine
Much of the whisky has been stored in 100-litre casks, which produces an exciting, powerful ageing process. We have also used newly manufactured Swedish oak casks, made using oak that was planted on the island of Visingsö 160 years ago and intended for use in building warships for the Swedish navy. The base is our Elegant recipe, stored in bourbon casks of first fill quality. All stored in the Bodås mine, 50 metres down inside the primary rock.
Welcome!
Med vänliga hälsningar/Kind regards
