Bar Q

The vacancy of fresh white walls has been said to inspire creativity. There is nowhere this mantra could be more true then at Anita Lo’s new Greenwich Village restaurant, Bar Q. The moniker is one “b” shy of the American southern survival cuisine, Bar-B-Q and rightly so. Lo has finally, after six years of hatching the egg, brought her American-Chinese fusion cuisine idea to fruition. The result is an appetizing and interesting menu of Asian BBQ and fresh raw bar.



The gleaming white interior from the walls to the booths to the wood detailing provides a fresh backdrop to Lo’s innovative cuisine. To think of pairing pork cheeks with watermelon, tea-smoking meat, and serving ribs of tuna on the bone salted and smothered with green chili takes some serious talent in the kitchen.

I'm a bit of a BBQ snob so I was nicely surprised to have found one of the best ever at BarQ, while we were in town. If you're in NYC, don't miss this place for a worthy BBQ pleasure.
