We opened our Sunday morning by heading over to the finish line for the Tunnel to Towers Run (we plan to get involved next year!) Following our venture to cheer on firefighters -in full gear- running a 5K...we wandered to Tribeca in search of a new brunch venue.
Having an itch to observe Oktoberfest, we landed at Blaue Gans. Appropriately decorated with wooden blue geese, the venue hosts a communal feel with picnic tables outside and a wide bar with large square stools. The crowd was mixed, but heavily laced with children in strollers.
Chris requested a beer-- and I couldn't resist the Hungarian Paprika margarita. (A stunning cocktail! Light and subtly spiced. I had two.) For our mains, I selected the Gravlax with arugula, cucumber and a dallop of cream cheese), Chris chose the Weißwurst with Brezel (two white sausages with Austrian sweet mustard and a large pretzel).
Although you might expect food from Bavaria to be heavy, we found it to be filling, but not weighing us down. Quite satisfying, albeit a bit pricy for brunch ($80 after tax and tip).
