SMØR is in one of the recently renovated storefronts off of Avenue A that includes a nail salon-spa...
Reinvented pickled herring is just the thing that the neighborhood needed.
ReplyDeleteActually I need pickled herring, and I am the neighborhood. Just the "reinvented" part is of course millennial nonsense.
DeleteAte there today. Delicious. A little pricey. Started by a couple of nice Danish kids from Brooklyn. Only drawback is there's no coffee after noon, since apparently the landlord requested that they don't compete with the dog coffeeshop in the same building.
ReplyDeleteAlthough herring might be a unusual choice for American tastes, it does taste pretty good. Also, they have plenty of other types of sandwiches, including roast beef. There are vegetarian options too. It's a stylish, cool spot.
