Oh, the choices…
Warm dandelion salad with egg and pancetta?
Braised octopus with olive vinaigrette?
Porcini-crusted cod with shrimp, potatoes, and onion bouillon?
Chocolate-banana beignets?
A bottle of 2000 Vino Gatto Rosso?
Shame on you. It’s not even noon, now, is it?

Do with your indulgences what you will, but do us a favor: TYAD. As in Take Your Ass Downtown, because not only does TriBeCa need your presence, but this week, restaurateurs Jimmy Bradley and Danny Abrams (of The Red Cat fame) open the Harrison. It’s worth the trip. Check out the romantic French doors, the walnut wainscoting, and the dreamy handmade chandeliers with cherrywood shades. Everything gives the Harrison a men’s-club smoking-room feel.

And who said ladies don’t smoke cigars?
