Our visit to Macdougal Street’s Hundred Acres may or may not have been the same week the restaurant appeared on New York's favorite guilty pleasure, Gossip Girl. But GG endorsement or not, the restaurant had the chops to impress YAH. The farmyard-inspired décor and market-driven seasonal menu (printed daily) lend themselves to the autumn spirit, providing the ideal setting for an October meal. CONT'D

 

Service was friendly and attentive; shortly after being seated, a breadbasket and a plate of shockingly tasty butter were set on the marble table.  This is not your normal pre-dinner fare; Hundred Acres’ butter tastes like what you would imagine fresh-off-the-farm, homemade, sweet butter to taste like.  Our expectations of the rest of the meal were not let down: how often have you had dry chicken? And how inspired can a chicken dish truly be?  The ½ roast chicken is the moistest, most flavorful bird we’ve had this year, and the mussels and accompanying fries did not disappoint either.  We will be returning many, many times this season in hopes of more delicious food, and maybe, if we are lucky, a side of Chuck Bass.
