We again stopped in at West Bank Cafe, as it’s directly across from Playwrights Horizon where we were 
seeing the raunchy lots-of-laughs Bootycandy.
We began with their delicious orecchiette ($17), sweet Italian sausage and broccoli rabe all swimming in a rich parmesan broth.
The evening’s special was a delicate pan-seared red snapper ($29) with caramelized fennel, fingerling potatoes, spinach, baby golden beets all in a yummy blood orange reduction. Both dishes went well with the light-to-medium bodied Frappato Valle Dell’Acate from Sicily ($10 a glass).
A great place to dine before theatre.
