Bareburger - Organic Burgers - $

http://www.bareburger.com/ (Astoria, NY)

While Astoria has plenty of great restaurants, this is one of the best restaurants for the yuppie scene. Bareburger serves all kinds of organic options for burgers. They let you choose your meat, offering bison, elk, turkey, veggie, beef, etc., as well as your bun option. You can go whole grain, brioche, even lettuce wrapped if you want. Everything is organic, including the ketchup and fries. All their choices sound incredible but I've only had a couple to comment on.

- Maui Wowie Burger
(I had it with the turkey. Yummmm)
- Lamb Burger
- Portabella Burger
(Haven't had this one but I cant wait to try it.)
- Sweet potato fries

$20 pp

ABC Kitchen - American, Organic - $$$$

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. I went with 2 girlfriends and we shared a bunch of plates. Everything is organic and delicious--- it's American food done extremely well, plus the ambiance is great. It's trendy without being annoying, but it did take a couple of weeks to get a reservation, well worth the wait.

- chicken liver toast
- roasted kobacha squash toast
(both incredible, buttery, crisp toast. the liver pate has a cinnamon flavor and doesn't taste "liver-y"; the squash is sweet and delicious)

- roast carrot & avocado salad
- pretzel dusted calamari
(honestly, both just mediocre)

- complimentary ravioli from the kitchen

- fresh organic chicken
- braised lamb shank
(both delicious)



all that with a bottle of wine came to about $80 each, not too bad for such a delicious meal. will definitely go back and get the toasts again next time. would not even recommend those appetizers. the entrees were so delicious, but i would probably choose something else just to try other deliciousness.

definitely felt like i had a food baby after that meal.
