RESTAURANT SPOTLIGHT
Blue Ribbon Brassarie
If you can’t land on a cuisine for dinner then head to Blue Ribbon, its a brasserie that offers seafood, American and international dishes, you can order everything from a seafood tower to fondue to their famous fried chicken. Because of this, Blue Ribbon is perfect for groups, or picky eaters. If you can’t decide what you want, go with the fried chicken, its so popular that they have a dedicated restaurant for it in New York — the chicken is crispy, it’s juicy and has the right amount of spice, served alongside mashed potatoes. While you’re here go ahead and end the meal with dessert, try the sundae.
