Parker & Quinn – if you’ve been to the Refinery Hotel, you’ve likely walked through Parker & Quinn and just didn’t realize it. It’s a beautiful space – tiled floors, comfy banquettes, and a sizable bar. There’s a Malted Waffle that’s sure to speak to your sweet tooth, and then there’s also steak & eggs, if you’re living that protein life.

Trademark Taste & Grind – I often come here during the week to work and grab a light bite and/or coffee, but I know it’s also got a solid brunch game on the weekends. The burrata and knots with tomato jam to start are awesome, and they have a “Cereal Milk White Russian” with manhattan moonshine, cocoa puffs, almond milk, and coffee liqueur. Ummm yes.

The sailor in me always comes out in my rum choices. My first and only pick is Mount Gay Rum. Born in the Sailing Era in Barbados, I can almost taste the islands when in a daiquiri or just as a highball. It truly is a bottle that keeps me saying, “where has all the rum gone?”.

You know that meme with two identical versions of Spiderman pointing at one another? Well, The Smith is one Spiderman, and Parker & Quinn is the other. The difference is, The Smith just feels like a hotel restaurant, but Parker & Quinn actually is one. It’s in the bottom of the Refinery Hotel in Midtown, it’s open all day, and it looks very similar to The Smith (tiled floors, big bar, etc.). So if you recently swore to some friends that you’d stop going to The Smith, but you’re having a hard time following through, come here. It’s nearly identical.

“My new favorite obsession is aquafaba, the liquid leftover from cooked chickpeas. As unappetizing as that might sound, it is starchy and works similarly to egg whites in recipes. Aquafaba can be used to create a variety of vegan items, including butter, mayo, pasta dough, cheese, cocktails, and desserts.”

Dramatic views of the Empire State Building contrast Refinery’s rather chic decor. A list of sliders, flatbreads, and starters like crispy calamari and soft pretzels are on the menu along with cocktails. It’s open year-round.

I love anything the guys at Montauk Brewing Company do. When they came out with a Pilsner I rejoiced. With all the IPA hype nowadays, I often find myself desperate for a light and balanced option. Pilsners, especially the one Montauk Brewing makes, fits that bill.
