Boulton & Watt is now open for lunch

And here is part of the official announcement about lunch service via the EVG inbox yesterday

Besides the Boulton & Watt’s signature mason jar pickles (in seasonal varieties such as pineapple with habanero, mint and basil and beets with peppercorns and red wine vinegar — $5 each or three jars for $13) and modern classics such as Boulton and Watt mac and cheese (white cheddar persillade bread crumbs, $10) and “The Burger” (house-made blend on brioche bun and fries — $14 and up), new items include a refreshing baby arugula, date and orange salad with lime vinaigrette, toasted pistachio and ricotta salata ($12), soft scrambled eggs (with a side of avocado toast and watercress — $10), an heirloom tomato sandwich that is sure to be a summer favorite (baby arugula, charred red onion, basil, roasted garlic mayo on seven grain toast — $10 or $12 with bacon) and the intriguing “Hangover” (two fried eggs, cheddar, avocado, bacon, chipotle aioli on seven grain bread - $12), the perfect pick-me-up after a late East Village night.

You can find the full lunch menu here.

The restaurant at 5 Avenue A at East First Street/Houston opened in January 2013.

  2. After I win Powerball and go on a celebratory month-long bender I will be sure and check this place out, because I will finally be able to afford it and I can avail myself of the Hangover. Wow, can't wait.

  3. I miss Nice Guy Eddies. Specifically, Pre-2010 Nice Guy Eddies, when the service was good and they showed Eagles games on the big TV.

  4. Its 2014 and everything is expensive - if after paying your under market rent in a controlled/stabilizeed apt you are living off noodles and dollar.pizza maybe you need to reevaluate what you are doing these prices aren't bad.considering how much ingredients cost and how much it costs to run a place-

  5. Lunch that the tech bros, douches of Wall Street, hipster trustafarians, Bloomberg's godsend money launderer billionaires could only afford.

    And when mommy and daddy's funds run out and move back to their basement, maybe you need to reevaluate what you not doing.

  6. Seriously? If you're not being sarcastic then its pretty sad - the hangover which was mentioned earlier is 12 bucks-but I forgot that actually being an; employed taxpayer is bad- so.dollar pizza is bad and this place is too expensive -no wonder places are closing- what I am doing.is supporting.local businesses - and I love the assumptions - thanks for mommy and daddy comment but I'm 44 and they have passed away- guess its wrong to work and; not be destitute- ill go visit the.barbershop I read about- you do whatever you do and a word of advice dont.talk about.someone's family mine gave.me.many things but money wasn't one of.them please stop.whining I've.been in nyc my entire life and people. cry.and whine so you're a wall St douche if you can.spend $12 on food?Really? OK then -

  7. So the choices are between overpriced "luxury" foodie foods and $1 pizza. You're 44. Grow-up. Must be Wall Street douche stealing from the little guys. That's sad.

  8. Exactly. You are 44 and mommy and daddy are still funding you. It makes sense that you would be attracted to the consistent and the gratifying, since you have a narcissistic personality that was created by inconsistent, frustrating parents. ou may be a "native" but you help the destruction of your neighborhood due to your lack of empathy, sense of entitlement, and contempt for those beneath. You are the perfect customer for this establishment. And I guess middle-class and working- class don't pay taxes. Only the riches are allowed to lunch and dine in your NYC. Yeah, won't talk about you anymore if you stop writing, since you can't punctuate and capitalize properly. Unless mommy and daddy still hire a "tutor" to do those for you Enjoy the pickled jars and the Brats in a Blanket for the brats. Anything to make you feel special.

  9. Interesting - 9:54 pm can you read? I stated that my family gave no money and as I stated they passes away and it was a long time ago. I funded myself. At least read the comment before you respond. $12 is now luxury apparently. I didn't realize that. Now I know how to categorize my purchases. Thanks

  10. Post is about lunch at B & W, and you've made it all about you. Me, me, me, all about meeeeeeeee.

  11. Is this place any good ? Is it worth the money? Is it too expensive considering what they serve? Can these comments stay on topic? Is it too expensive for the location? I wish nice guy eddies was still there.

  12. Sadly, the outdoor-seating area has ZERO ambiance.

  13. so, I never visited nice guy eddie's so can I complain at a new place? Look, whatever your budget, 15.50 to get a cheeseburger is a change in the normal price of offerings of the E. village. I mean, it's more expensive. $17 Fish tacos are also pretty steep.
    Now, clearly they are going for a different clientele, but a joint named 'Boulton and Watt' just seems to me to have a Murray Hill style ring to it. They have done their homework, there are richer young people Living in the neighborhood, and ,of course, they are not working in the neighborhood. They are charging accordingly.
    I'll never go there, I know that. I'll go to Paul's get a burger as good, or 90 percent as good, support a longstanding joint, and save my money for drinks a little less expensive than BW later in the evening at a nice place. Will douchebags frequent BW? Remains to be seen
