Delish Dish 5: Bottomless Frites at Lemon Bar

Want a cheap Happy Hour? Well, your in luck if you live in the West Village. Lemon Bar has just been opened a short time, yet it's already packing them in to the rafters with no signs of slowing down. Why so crowded? Well, prices for one. When beers start at $3, all day, every day, and your joint happens to be located in such a hip part of town, with a comely waitstaff to boot, well, guys and gals are very likely to show. The food is also worthwhile. Of course, there are the usual bar suspects, like wings and nachos, but also trendy fare, such as hummus or flatbreads. Yet, one of the very best dishes at Lemon Bar is also one of the humblest, a basket of bottomless frites. These fries are ultra-crispy and addictive, and a positive steal at four bucks. Actually, the biggest issue at Lemon Bar is parking; you shouldn't drive endlessly around the block looking for an empty spot, merely head for the West Village garage located smack dab in the middle of all the shops and restaurants. Website for Lemon Bar is www.thelemonbar.com, but it's still a work in progress.
Go barhopping sometime soon, and remember:

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR MEDIOCRE FOOD!!!
