Although last weekend’s temperatures seemed a bit more like July than April, this week’s back to feeling like spring, and in celebration of the season, Tailor in SoHo is offering a seasonal menu as part of Zagat’s new House Specials program. Chef Sam Mason says he’s “slowly rolling out” his spring menu, but Zagat readers can get a preview taste with this three-course dinner.
Showcasing ingredients fetched from the Union Square Greenmarket (Mason's market of choice, “despite the abundance of baby strollers and dogs”), the deal offers two choices for each course, including brisket braised with Waylon bourbon, accompanied by parsnip purée, burnt carrots and orange, a seared red snapper with watermelon, olive, and Mason’s favorite spring produce, ramps. Dinner also includes a choice of cocktail, including the beet sangria pictured above. For the full menu click past the jump (offered May 4–10; $50 per person; 212-334-5182).
