Another day, another
Blackboard Eats coupon. This time for
Alias Restaurant on the Lower East Side. This place had not been on my radar at all since it is more of a neighborhood place.
Serious Eats did a review of the appetizers a while back and they seemed to like them. The full menu also looked interesting, so we took a shot. We got there at just the right time before the wait jumped from a couple minutes to an hour. Lucky us!
After being seated, we ordered drinks and two appetizers and were given some
bread and what I believe to be a red pepper, chickpea and white bean dip. Unfortunately, our appetizers came out super quick so I was only able to taste a little of this. It was quite good and a perfect summer dip.
CT says: I really liked the dip. I’ve enjoyed both white bean dip and
hummus, but never thought to mix the two. However, the end result was a light, almost fluffier, hummus flavor. A great starter!
CT & I have read and become firm believers that appetizers are more often than not the stars of the menu. Alias was no
