We had a short time to grab a bite near my daughter-in-law’s hotel before she hailed a taxi to JFK. That’s how we ended up at Jam’s, Johnathan Waxman’s midtown restaurant serving seasonal food.
It was unseasonably warm, so we grabbed a table outside. Jams guacamole and chips ($18) were tasty, with flavorful black corn nixtamal chips served with mashed avocado flavored with lots of cilantro and lime. Refreshing, especially after some unripe guac I had had recently at a high-end Mexican chain.
I recommend their flavorful multi-colored beet salad containing pomegranate arils, chopped pistachio nuts and fresh arugula in a tahini yogurt. So good, as was the fresh cauliflower soup, rich but not too so. And, knowing we were sharing, the kitchen split it into two bowls!
