Crepes With The Queen

My friend Ann, affectionately known as The Queen, was visiting New York this weekend and since much fun and debauchery was had, we needed a little pick me up this morning in the form of a delicious crepe. Near my apartment is a delightful indoor food mecca called Chelsea Market where they sell everything from lobster to leaf gelatin. And while that would certainly be enough to satisfy my taste buds, the market also houses a number of fun quick service restaurants like Bar Suzette.

Bar Suzette is an eclectic little spot, cash only and with hipster employees, one might worry that the crepe bar's offerings might lack finesse but they are actually rather wonderful. Naturally I had the nutella and strawberry crepe which was truly delicious but The Queen had what she said was a delectable crepe full of butternut squash, heirloom tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and ricotta cheese. Very tasty indeed and also relatively free of any mess since the crepes were delivered folded and in paper cones -- no forks needed!

Bar Suzette is located at 425 W. 15th Street and while they don't have a website, you can check out their offerings on their Facebook page.

  1. It does sounds like you and Ann had a great visit last weekend. I am glad that you were able to kick back and enjoy a weekend with no worries. You didn't mention if either of you were suffering from a hangover!

    The crepe that she had looks and sounds delicious! It is a good reminder that crepes don't always have to filled with sweet stuff.
