Description

Though the name is Dutch (it means "Today"), the food at this promising East Village restaurant falls within the canon of New American cooking, though Dutch food is always the touchstone and embarkation point for the culinary experiments of Phillip Kirschen-Clark, a chef who cut his eye teeth at Jimmy's No. 43. The collection of northern European brews and gin-based cocktails alone merits a visit to the bar, and the agreeable menu runs from Dutch standards like bitterballen (oxtail croquettes) and pickled oysters, to inventions such as lamb sweetbreads served with Holland peppers and hickory, and a splendid roast hen for two, flavored with lemon and bay leaves.

  • 2011 | Best Dutch

    Manhattan usually manages to have at least one Netherlandish café, and the current holder of that honor is Vandaag ("Today"). Cocktails made with genever--the forerunner of gin--rule the mixed-drink list, and Dutch culinary commonplaces such as stroopwafel (caramel-crusted wafer), spekdik (bacon-dotted roll), and bitterballen (oxtail croquettes) abound. Still, the menu ventures deep into Scandinavian territory for inspiration, too, so you're not stuck in Amsterdam for your... More »

  • 2011 | Best Use of Juniper

    Plain old peanuts wouldn't do for a bar snack at Vandaag, one of the city's few Dutch restaurants, located in the East Village. Here, juniper-flavored pecans are the nibble with which to tipple. Lightly coated in sugar and tossed with the ground purple-black berries plus a hint of cayenne, these crunchy nuts perfectly complement the eatery's many cocktails made with juniper-based Genever, also known as Holland gin. Try an order or two along with the namesake gin cocktail (Bols Genever,... More »
