NYC Bar Rose Marie Serves the Best Southern Vegetable Dishes | Eater NY

"A Southern-inspired, low-frills room in Williamsburg from the Yellow Rose team, this any-night spot doubles down on seasonal specials with an ever-changing menu that aims not to reinvent the wheel but to be reliably very good. The one constant is a patty melt on thick Pullman bread ($18) topped with pickled green tomatoes—whose brine also shows up in the martini—while larger plates like saltine-crusted fish ($27) come with rotating sides such as broccolini with ultra-creamy steamed potatoes or seared squash and rice. If you see a vegetable with a provenance, like Campo Rosso sprouting cauliflower, order it; it probably won’t be there next time. The restaurant excels at simplicity, with a cocktail list of spritzes, 50/50 shots, and a rotating frozen, plus nonalcoholic fruit sodas to match the anytime vibe. It’s versatile and comfortable—no yelling or phone lights needed—with something for everyone, whether you’re craving an acid-heavy green salad or a big plate of fried cheese curds; catch up with parents here, or split a patty melt with a date before a Grand Street bar crawl. Desserts come from pastry chef Young Cho, typically a semolina cake with seasonal fruit." - Bettina Makalintal
