“Trestle on Tenth”

Occasion:	Cuisine:	Area:	Cost:	Rating:
Night Out	New American	Chelsea	Moderate	Good

filled with sliced stone fruits and plump ripe berries tossed with a syrupy honey given some dimension with basil so it’s not too cloying. And the chocolate stout cake! I may just name my first-born Chocolate Stout Strong. Well, maybe not. Maybe just Stout? Why not? Stout Strong. I like it. So, anyway, back to the cake. It is shaped like a cupcake, with a swirl of thick chocolate frosting on top, and the cake itself is moist and buttery and perfectly balanced, with dark, rich spicy notes from the Stout. It’s the best chocolate dessert I have had in recent memory.

You’ll be happy with what you are drinking as well as what you are eating. Juliette Pope, wine director of Gramercy Tavern, is Ralf’s wife, so the list is quite nice and spans Austria, France, Italy and the North Fork (Shinn Estate’s Red is on the list). There are a number of fabulous beers on tap as well, including that Allagash White from Maine, Corsendonk Brown Ale from Belgium, and Ayinger Weisse from Germany.

When you leave Trestle on Tenth, and you turn and look down Tenth Avenue perhaps to hail a cab to take you home, you may turn back, and look at the soft barlight washing over the dark sidewalk. And you will think, “I liked it here. When are we coming back?”

Trestle on Tenth is located at 242 Tenth Avenue, at 24th Street, 212-645-5659.
