The Half King is a casual pub in Chelsea were I stopped by recently before heading to a humorous “Yankee Wives” production at the Hudson Guild Theatre on 26th.

The crisp Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, Australia ($38) washed down the crunchy nuggets, zucchini fries ($7) with their spicy dip and a Mexican Half King Burger ordered with spicy HellFire Fries ($14). The latter came topped with pepperjack cheese, with sides of guacamole and pico de gallo.

Outdoor dining, friendly staff and simple pub food. It’s  an easy stop right off High Line —  the linear park built on a section of the former elevated New York Central Railroad —on 23. Recommendable.
