Restaurant Profile: Blue Fin


Blue Fin
W Hotel Times Square, 1567 Broadway at 47th Street, New York, NY 10036

Because I am a fucking world traveler and enjoy dining out, I am going to profile some of the many, many restaurants that I eat at for you. Perhaps these are places that serve orgasm-enducing plates. Perhaps the spot is phenomenal and the restuarant is the attraction alone. Perhaps you should trust my fucking opinion on restaurants because I know what I'm talking about. Perhaps it will bring you some joy as I travel the country eating at all these balling places while you try to escape your sad, cold, snow-covered New England village.

This week's installment brings us to New York City. More specificially, Times Square. When you think Times Square, you probably think McDonalds and meat-on-a-stick dinners or a Rainforest Cafe-like theme. Blue Fin strays away from the norm and offers fresh seafood and fairly exotic sushi rolls for the pre-theater diner.

What I had the pleasure of eating:


Oysters: 2 of each - Kusshi, Fanny Bay, Ram Island (from CT), Hama Hama
Warm Baked Goat Cheese Salad - red beets, arugula, balsamic vinaigrette
Tuna and Salmon Tartare - wonton crackers, ginger, avocado
Spicy Lobster Roll - Tuna, avocado, cilantro
Sweet and Spicy Roll - Rock shrimp, pineapple, tempura, jalapeno
Passion Fruit Napoleon - chrisp phyllo, raspberries, and a whole fuckin mess of fruit.
Beer - Stella Artois



BAM. Hungry yet? It's about 2am and I'm jonesin' for some of that creamy ass goat cheese. And the oysters made me pretty horny. In a good way. Ginger sauce and Tabasco are a must. Makes those slimy fuckers tasty.

The sushi was very creative. The Sweet and Spicy Roll ruined my Valentine's Day sex because it made me jizz in my pants before we even got to dessert.

Breakdown:
Service: 3/5
Food: 5/5
Price: $50 a person
If you're a high roller and plan on drankin and gettin' apps: $80 a person

Overall: 4/5
