FREEMANS on the LES
I was so friggin’ excited to go to this place. It had all the makings of a magical experience for me….perhaps I built it up too much in my mind. Quaint hideaway hidden at the end of a non descript alley….a sort of refuge from the noise and grit of the streets of New York. I expected to be transported to another world. I guess in many ways I was….but it turned out to be West Virginia.
We made sure we got there early to avoid the droves of people and 2 hour waits we had heard about. In retrospect, the darker it got, the better the ambiance. Perhaps then the stuffed animal heads would have served as a funky backdrop and not creepy monuments. Contrary to many of the reviews, I found the service prompt and friendly.
I knew going in that I was not crazy about the menu….I was looking more to the over all experience to sweep me off my feet. We both had salads for entrees that were large and delicious. The devils on horseback were tasty as well.
I wouldn’t rush back to this place but I am glad I experienced it. There is a bar in the back room that might be fun to have dinner and hang out at late in the evening.
