Celebrity Foodie 411: Adrien Brody

I went to see Prince last night at MSG….he was amazing!

After the show, we went to Schiller’s for noshing and cocktails.

CHOW FAVES of the evening: Oysters, Fries, Sliders, and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

SIP: Champagne and Cocktails.

A friend we were with is friends with Adrien Brody so he joined us, and I happened to be sitting right next to him at our table at Schiller’s. He’s a great guy. You know I had to get the Foodie 411 before the night was over, and I did! Here are a few restos Adrien spoke highly of….BTW- I’m in total agreement with his picks.

Rice – features dishes from around the world with rice as a common thread. It’s a cozy and casual spot with friendly service. The food is healthy with good subtle flavors.

MY CHOW FAVES:

Vegetarian Meatballs – Moist and savory balls of Tofu, Miso, Soy, Scallions and Red Peppers- offered in a Sweet or Spicy Sauce, served over rice.

Jerk Chicken Wings- Juicy with a slight crisp.

Public for brunch- Offering a great mix of sweet and savory dishes on the brunch menu. The food is fantastic- unique, flavorful, and presented well.

MY CHOW FAVES for brunch:

Tea-Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny- Delectable….particularly the yuzu hollandaise.

Coconut Pancakes- Light and fluffy. 

Quinoa Hash Browns- Surprisingly delicious!

The Lion- Check out my previous posts on The Lion. http://bit.ly/gyCsbH and  http://bit.ly/gkqNZp

One thing to add that Adrien Brody put me on to… The space The Lion’s housed in was one of the first spots in NYC to get a liquor license.
