Happy Burger Month to Me!
Friday the 18th of Burger Month was my B-Day.
After singing, dancing my heart out and emptying out the ole tear ducts on stage...
(Cue Plug: Before God Was Invented come see! Running til April 3 Thurs-Sat 8pm & Sundays 3pm, Buy tickets at Theatre for the New City)....
I made my way to the aptly named Black Market to meet my roomie, bestie and distinguished actor Colin Cramer (you can now find his profile on Actors Access!) along with fellow distinguished actor-in-training Paul Weinberg.
As I mentioned Black Market or should I say BLK MKT is aptly named. The directions say its on Ave A & the corner of 7th, a street and corner I pass by daily, and I've never noticed this place. In fact, I walked by it 3X that night mistaking it for another place attached to its hip called "Niagra."
Its distinguishing mark isn't the sign itself for BLK MKT, which is barely visible but you can't miss sign in the window!
Now, once you have unwrapped the mystery of its location, BLK MKT is a classy joint, perfect not only to meet friends for Beer, Martinis, Oysters AND BURGERS but also, would make for a cozy, romantic first date.
It certainly seemed like some sparks were flying at the table next to us. When the guy left to use the gentleman's lavatory, the gal filled us in on the details, not only is he a dream boat, but apparently "Such a nice guy!"
Now. BLK MKT deserves a special mention. What a concept for a Veggie Burger!
Get This. A panko crusted Eggplant Fillet served with Tartar Sauce and french fries.....!!!!
Colin & Paul also seemed happy with their burger, which they shared over pints of beer. But folks, even if you're not a vegetarian, I would come here just to try the Vegetarian Burger.
Special mention to our server. She was excellent. The place was packed that night, but she was on top of things and then, due to an extended wait-time on drinks my Martini was on-the-house, making for an even better birthday!
Thanks to everyone for all their Birthday Wishes and Burger Month Support!
