Down South in the Upper East

1460 2nd Avenue, New York - (212) 249-1001

Me, Bobby and his uncle and cousin came to this spot because our pizza place was mysteriously closed on a Saturday night at 9:30! But we werent disappointed by far. This place after about 10 turns into a regular city bar but still remains open to people who want to stop in for food also. We got seated outside pretty quick and our food came out pretty fast also which was good because we were pretty hungry. I wanted seafood but they only had shrimp so i ordered a order of 4 grilled BBQ shrimp, small portion of pulled pork and creamed spinach. Bobby got a Shrimp Po' Boy (shrimp on a hero with coleslaw) and the boys got pulled pork sandwiches. The BBQ sauce that they serve here is pretty obviously not bottled. It tasted homemade and had a little kick. I loved the creamed spinach, ive never had it where it almost made the spinach taste sweet. Bobby sandwich....it was pretty amazing i was almost jealous that i didnt order it for myself. Even though the shrimp were smothered in creamy coleslaw, the shrimp was still really crispy! The pulled pork melted in my mouth and the BBQ sauce was so good. The shrimp were typical grilled shrimp skewers, nothing to brag about. But that Po' Boy was DEFINITELY something to brag about.

Then we ordered dessert.

My favorite part of the meal always..

We ordered Banana Pudding. OMG, this was better than any pudding i have ever had at a restaurant. It was so thick and tasted so much like banana; it was so heavenly. Then they top your pudding with caramelized bananas that are almost crispy from the caramelized sugar on top and at the bottom you have crumbly Nilla wafers. OMG. It really couldnt get any better.

If your in the UES one day, be sure to stop in for some southern comfort.

It gets a 7.
