Oh Mr. Blue Ribbon, why oh why do you do this to me!? I tried the vegan thing for a bit, but you kept calling my name back. I would look in your windows and see my old pal Ahmir Khalib Thompson chowing down on your exquisite fried chicken and it was just too much for my virgin vegan soul to bear! Your crispy shell and warm flesh doused in that sticky sweet delicious honey sauce…This is what my last meal would be should I ever need an option. You are so very very bad, yet so incredibly good. And, no matter how much I try, I can’t quit you!

The past couple of weeks have been a whine-fest of New York writers lamenting the end to nightlife in our city. Well, we’ve been over the club scene for awhile now. And tomorrow, we will unleash upon the world wide web, an extensively researched list of the under radar places to go after dark. We have drawn upon a wealth of sources the last two days and are excited to culminate our findings into one big report for you. Before this happens, I would like to take the time to get one of my favorite places out of the way, a place whose greatness is no secret, and who will be celebrating it’s sweet sixteen this year: Blue Ribbon.

In order to do the place it’s justice, and provide you with the best of the best insider information, I had to contact MR BLUE RIBBON himself, a fan that has spent over a decade calling the little place on Sullivan Street his second home.

Everything You Need To Know About Blue Ribbon That You Won’t Find On A Food Blog:

Blue Ribbon always draws a most eclectic crowd. From local foodies, to off-shift chefs, to hip hop impresarios…you need to play along. Bring a crowd of 5 or more for a reservation, and make it some interesting folks…the place is too special for average dining room chit chatter and bores.
If you are under 5 you will need to wait at the bar. And so, a whole new set of tips: always ask if they have ruby red shrimp at the raw bar, they only have them once in a while but they’re spectacular. Talk to James. He likes skiing in Colorado and baseball.
