Review: Lord’s Is British Meat Done Right in NYC | Eater NY

"Tucked in Greenwich Village, I find this damn-fine restaurant is packing the house with gutsy British fare — a dark, woodsy tavern that’s never not packed, yet same-day Resy seats often show up. Owners Patricia Howard and chef Ed Szymanski have turned up the volume on old-school, viscera-forward cooking: tripe jiggles in Madeira sauce after being braised with calves’ feet until it takes on a warm Jell-O texture; solid strips of intestine wobble like a meaty panna cotta; blood sausage and pig’s face enrich a cassoulet-like bowl of beans; and an ox-cheek pie steams with Stilton and is topped with bone-marrow butter, the meat rendered to a slithery texture. Duck-stuffed cabbage is ground with a little liver, heart, and gizzards, which give the inky prune sauce a complex, earthy sweetness. Start with plump warm oysters dotted with guanciale and caramelized onion, and don’t miss the scotch eggs, here coated in a lamb farce that leaves profound notes of garlic, curry paste, and funk. The Guinness-laced Welsh rarebit tastes like it was foraged from an old ashtray yet works perfectly — sharp cheddar, stretchy sourdough, Marmite umami, and a Cantabrian anchovy’s ocean punch — while the deviled crab toast disappoints as devoid of seafood flavor. The sirloin au poivre lets you dredge binchotan-grilled meat across a pool of gelatinous sauce rather than assaulting you with peppercorns. Szymanski also squeezes enormous depth out of grilled maitakes and chanterelles with lentils (the glaze tastes like a veal-like stock, though it’s a vegetarian bread stock), and for dessert I found the $8 brown-butter ice cream mealy and couldn’t finish it — so have another martini and hope Lord’s stays easier to get into than Dame." - Ryan Sutton

"Cricket's Global Headquarters Even if you don’t know your long-on from your silly mid-off, the world headquarters of the game of cricket is worth the pilgrimage. Almost hidden amid the upscale residential neighbourhood of St John’s Wood, its size, once you get on the inside, is a Tardis-like surprise. Its pavilion is a perfectly preserved specimen of chocolate box Victoriana (and so are some of the gentlemen who still frequent it). During the summer, it’s a great place to experience the convivial, scotch-eggs-and-champagne feel of the true English cricket match, and there are games on almost every day. There’s also an excellent museum detailing the history of the game (and this ground’s central place in it) which is open year-round, and tours of the Marylebone Cricket Club for those who haven’t yet completed the multi-year waiting period to become a member."
