de.lic.ious

last night i ate the most de.lic.ious dinner at one of the best restaurants below houston. hidden secretly on an alley off of rivington, freeman's is like a country hideaway in the lower east side. taxidermied heads adorn the walls and unfinished wooden tables crowd the floor of the restaurant, which is subdivided into a bunch of small rooms. there are two bars serving up a list of complex and intricate cocktails, like the brown derby i got, which was bourbon, grapefruit juice, and honey. the eclectic menu changes seasonally and always has a good amount of wild game on it. besides for the amazing bibb lettuce salad with bleu cheese i had to start, i ordered the most unbelievable roast chicken that came in a lemon-hazelnut brown butter sauce with green beans. it was de.lic.ious.
