WHAT is it about New York’s grip on our cool going out expectations? Every other new bar seems to offer us a bite of the Big Apple.
The latest addition to The Printworks spells out the intended vibe – New York By Night. Maybe catch one of their pizzas or cocktails as an alternative to Manahatta on Deansgate or in the Northern Quarter bagel/salt beef haven Eat New York or ‘Mad Men central’ Pen & Pencil with its Manhattan mural? Yet, of course, some Big Apple wannabes end up windfall – who remembers Urban Cookhouse?
Which brings us to a New York experience that’s guaranteed to last just a fleeting six weeks – as is the norm with Six By Nico in Spring Garden. After giving us his launch tasting menu, ‘Chippie Tea’, followed by his ‘Mexico’ concept (read our four star review) brand founder Nico Simeone is giving his culinary regards to Broadway and Brooklyn with ‘New York’.
Expect beef burger doughnuts, smoked flat iron steak and a Big Apple cheesecake (pictured) with a tweak.
Six By Nico, 60 Spring Gardens, Manchester M2 2BQ. Diners can book a table now for ‘New York', which runs from October 1-November 10. Six-course menu £29 a head, optional wine pairing £26. Both prices have gone up a quid! Book here.
