HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLARISA!!

I'm almost a week late with this (as I always am with birthday shout outs) but I don't think she'll mind. I went out with Clarisa and about 14 of her closest friends (WOW) to The Stanton Social.


The food was GREAT!!! I would love to go back again. To see what we had, look below.

The Stanton Social
99 Stanton Street
btwn Orchard and Ludlow
New York, NY


I have no idea what the "real" name of this is because it was complimentary and wasn't listed on our pre-selected menu, but it's basically pizza. It came close to surpassing my preference for Two Boots pizza (which I think is THE BEST pizza in New York).

This was "Sweet and Sour Chicken and Cashew Spring Rolls". The best spring rolls I've ever had!

Pictured are their "Red Snapper Tacos" with "creamy avocado and spicy mango". It tasted really fresh like they grew the vegetables in the backyard or something.

"Grilled apple and brie Quesadilla - mustard-maple glaze and smoked 'bacon bits'"
This was my favorite for the night. The grilled apple made it really sweet the same way plantains does for the Cuban Quesadillas from Mojito in Brooklyn.

"Meatballs - herbed ricotta crepe manicotti and plum tomato sauce"
This wasn't the greatest but Raeana chowed down on the manicotti since she's on a no meat diet.

"Herb dusted Frites" (french fries) and "Marinated Hanger Steak"
The french fries were really good. The hanger steak confused me. There was a mini onion ring on top, which was fine, but underneath, there was a potato ball. I'm sure it would have been really good but I didn't know it was a potato. I thought it was a fish ball so when I put it in my mouth, I got confused and didn't really enjoy it. The steak on the very bottom was really tender. Definite recommendation for their steak.

Try out The Stanton Social and tell me how you guys like it. HAPPY EATING!!
