I met up with Craig at Eel Bar on the Lower East Side and it was such a buzzy, youthful spot. We felt like old men, even though Craig looks half his age in this picture:
The food at Eel Bar was truly excellent. Highlights for me were the fried black bass with mayonnaise (almost like a giant fish stick).
And the swordfish with clams and French fries which all married together beautifully on the plate.
If you find yourself on the Lower East Side at nine at night and you’re looking for a chic spot, look no further than Eel Bar.
