NG 4 lyfe (by, Hana Nagel)









Recently crowned “best meat restaurant” by the latest foodie edition
of  Time Out, NG offers innovative and masterfully prepared steakhouse
fare.  NG’s impish icon, reminiscent of Amy Winehouse, belies the
seriousness with which the talented chefs treat their food.  Expertly
cooked with the freshest ingredients, all of the dishes we had during
the (reasonably priced) business lunch special were spectacular.
The Business lunch works as follows: for the price of your main
course, you may additionally take an appetizer and a non-alcoholic
drink.  I opted for the “Crunch salad”, a mouthwatering salad
comprised of mixed greens, baked sweet potato curls and parmesan
shreds, accompanied by a creamy dressing.



Another delicious first course included the baked eggplant spears served with a trio of
toppings- finely chopped mint and parsley, a roasted tomato salsa and
incredibly fresh goat cheese.

The succulent steaks are prepared by a staff of self-professed
perfectionists, and you will receive nothing less.  The meat was
accompanied by a delectably creamy mashed potatoes, garnished with
more baked sweet potato curls atop a pocket of creamed sweet potato
and caramelized onions.



The restaurant offers a decadent yet relaxed atmosphere, just the
place to settle in for your upscale steak meal.  For dessert and
coffee, one may also enjoy the Taza D'Oro Cafe, a Neve Tzedek
institution located right next door.
