| - The food here is really good. As a group, we went for scallops (outstanding!), pig wing (succulent, tender), brussel sprouts (i want to eat them again today), and roast chicken (tender, juicy, rich and flavorful). We really enjoyed the food. The portions are small, but I've decided that's a good thing, even though you pay the same as you'd pay for larger portions elsewhere. Basically, there's no chance you're going to be uncomfortable and regret eating too much of X. Service was also pretty good. No complaints. Because the weather was really nice, we wanted to eat outside. The outside part of Butcher and the Rye is not so nice. This isn't their fault, but I wouldn't eat outside again. Sixth avenue is a busy corridor for two things that will bug the hell out of you while eating dinner: 1) Port Authority busses belching fumes and making noise; and 2) Downtown drunks belching fumes and making noise. And I don't mean the kinds of drunks that trip over their high heels and screech at their friends... these would have been ok; I mean the kinds of drunks that drool and fart and beg for change while tripping over their shoe laces. So, go for the food, and eat indoors, and you'll enjoy it.
