Bruscheterria
92 Rivington (Ludlow and Orchard)
Time: Monday to Friday, 11:30-4:00
Price: $12:50 for antipasto, entrée and glass and wine

After a $25 Asian Body Rub, I was feeling invigorated and decided to scope out lunch specials on the LES.   I saw several potentials, but Bruscheterria was the first one that included alcohol, and it being Thursday, I decided to roll with it.  Bruschetteria was an adorable little café, almost empty except for 2 girls on their laptops drinking coffee (free WiFi perhaps?).   I started with the artichoke and Italian cheese bruschetta (pronounced with a rolled ‘r’ and a hard ‘c’ a la Giada De Laurentiis).  It was like the classic artichoke dip your one friend brings to every dinner party, except more refined.  For my entrée, I had the spinach, roast beet, and goat cheese salad with pumpkin seeds and vinaigrette, which was fresh and flavorful.  Apparently they also have a happy hour deal, a carafe of wine and bruschetta for $12, so I’ll have to check that out for a ReBlog!
