The Drinks At Seasonal Are To Die For


The Bar At Seasonal Is Pure Class


Former First Daughter, Chelsea Clinton, was recently spotted at the cozy New York eatery, Seäsonal. Chelsea dined with her fiancé, Marc Mezvinsky, and another couple sticking to her vegetarian diet with a spring salad and white asparagus. The political power couple is not the only set of famous faces that have graced Seäsonal-renowned orchestral conductor and pianist James Levine, Austrian President Heinz Fischer, fashion favorite Richie Rich, and actress Diane Kruger have all dined at this contemporary Austrian/German Restaurant & Weinbar.Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, Seäsonal, the culinary brainchild of award-winning chefs Eduard Frauneder and Wolfgang Ban, offers New Yorkers a fresh, new perspective on "traditional" Austrian & German cuisine, challenging the long-standing expectations that many believe are true. Consistent with its name, Seäsonal uses the freshest ingredients from the time of year and locally sourced products when preparing their dishes, ensuring the finest in their Austrian & German fare. Not only does Seäsonal pride itself in maintaining the utmost quality in their cuisine, they ensure the presentation matches by designing each plate with an artistic elegance.Summer is just around the corner, which means there's not much time left to enjoy Seäsonal's exciting spring menu before Chefs Frauneder and Ban remain true to their philosophy and transform the menu to feature summer's freshest ingredients. Celebrate the changing of seasons with Seäsonal's Spring Bar, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, and Drinks menu.Here's a sampling of the mouth-watering dishes on this season's Menus: For Brunch: Indulge your sweet tooth with the Viennese Pancake, Kaiserschmarrn made with organic Vermont maple syrup and apricot stew. Really hungry? Try the Seasonal Benny- Creamy Spinach, two soft-boiled organic eggs and Potato Roesti.For Lunch: If those spring showers have left you feeling chilly, warm up with Seäsonal's Erbsensuppe (Fresh English Pea Soup, Smoked Bacon, Pickled Spring Onions). Lunching with co-workers? Share an appetizer that's a blend of the traditional lunch fair with German and Austrian flavor- Austrian BLT (Roasted Pork Belly with Mustard Cream Sauce on Toasted Sourdough Bread and Cup of Soup). For Dinner: Menu choices range from tasty traditional German and Austrian fare (Spätzle, Homemade Austrian Egg Pasta with Fava Beans, Ramps and Asparagus), to truly originally-crafted dishes (Tafelspitz, Natural Flat Iron Steak poached in Oxtail Consommé, Apple Horseradish, Cream Spinach and Chive Sauce). Can't pick? Why not leave the decisions to the chefs! Seäsonal offers a seven-course tasting menu, with or without wine parings, which is sure to make your dining experience one to remember. To accompany all the elegant dishes is an impressive wine list that includes several indigenous and typical varietals like Riesling (all different regions), Rivaner, Grüner Veltliner, Blaufränkisch (known as Lemberger in the United States), Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Zweigelt, Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Rotgipfler, gemischter Satz, gelber Muskateller, Furmint, Zierfandler and Chardonnay.Not a wine enthusiast?
