Smør (Clinton Hill) - Review - Clinton Hill - New York - The Infatuation
"Smør, a popular all-day cafe in the East Village, has a second, larger location in Clinton Hill. This full-service outpost is minimalist—white walls, light wood seating—yet inviting, with a skylight and pops of color from greenery and a bright orange clock. Large windows let in ample sunlight during the day, and at night, offer a wide-screen view of the trees outside, strung with lights. Neighborhood folks will appreciate the breakfast and lunch offerings of cardamom buns, pastries, egg sandwiches, and smørrebrød on dense Danish rye. But we like dinner here too, accompanied by the surround-sound murmur of flirtatious dates and toddler babble. There are interesting wines and vermouths, and shrimp in many exciting forms, including a fried shrimp sandwich with fantastically herby tartar sauce, and shrimp salad-topped sourdough toast that's dotted with roe. And there’s a stellar tuna tartare, with silky diced fish and creamy stracciatella—a pairing with instant on-plate chemistry. photo credit: Paul Quitoriano" - Molly Fitzpatrick
