Monkey Bar: Where Monkeys Dine Like Humans
Disclaimer: I've never actually seen a monkey in a suit and tie, but I hear the Monkey Bar in NYC is the place to be if you're looking for a truly upscale jungle gym.
A Menu That's Bananas
So, you're headed to the Monkey Bar, huh? Good choice, my fellow primate enthusiast. But let's be real, you're not going for the company of our furry friends (unless you're into that kind of thing, no judgment). You're going for the food. And boy, oh boy, do they have some goodies.
Let's start with the Crab Rangoon. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Crab rangoon? Really?" But trust me, these aren't your average takeout delights. They're like the caviar of crab rangoon. Crispy, creamy, and with a hint of something magical that only the Monkey Bar kitchen can conjure.
If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, try the Steak Frites. It's a classic for a reason, but the Monkey Bar puts their own spin on it. The steak is cooked to perfection, and the fries are those crispy, salty, addictive kind. You'll be licking your fingers (and maybe your plate) afterwards.
For the seafood lovers, the Shrimp Scampi is a must-try. The shrimp are juicy and plump, and the garlic sauce is simply divine. You'll be mopping up every last drop with that delicious bread.
And let's not forget about the Wagyu Burger. It's like a hug for your taste buds. So tender, so juicy, so ridiculously delicious. You'll be dreaming about it for days.
Dessert: The Sweet Finish
No meal is complete without a sweet ending, and the Monkey Bar delivers. The Carrot Cake is legendary, but I'm also a big fan of the Puddings. They're huge and incredibly rich, so be prepared to share (or not).
