488595 Mon Feb 11 12:15:57 -0800 2008 24 18 Manhattan 0 3386314 suggestions? i recently had some at Back Forty, but it was annoying because they didn't give us proper spoons to get it out, and the bones weren't cut lengthwise (which makes it so much easier). i guess i'd prefer places that serve it as an appetizer, where you can have it right out of the bone, but i've never had it any other way so if there are killer dishes that use it around town then please, suggest away! thanks :-) Mon Feb 11 12:15:57 -0800 2008 107885 ElenaRS 1 3386348 i had it at quality meats on saturday night...it was decent (served in the bone, with salt and some other condiments), but not mind blowing i saw some people eating it at prune a while back and it looked delicious, probably worth trying Mon Feb 11 12:22:09 -0800 2008 3386314 12298 Lau 1 3386351 I can't say it's the best, b/c I've not eaten it at many places, but had some amazing bone marrow, served in the bone, cut lengthwise, recently at the new Blue Ribbon place on W. 58th. Mon Feb 11 12:22:48 -0800 2008 3386314 10985 MMRuth 1 3386410 I had it at craftsteak, but it was one of the only things I loved other than the sides.

Bigger portion too. I also like how they cut the bone the long way. Tue Oct 13 16:50:08 -0700 2009 3386458 21954 2slices 1 3386489 Landmarc Tribeca. Mon Feb 11 12:51:00 -0800 2008 3386314 12821 ESNY 1 3386608 Definitely prune with sea salt and buttered toast. Becco in the osso bucco on the bone (but because of that you don't get more than one bone). Allen and Delancey -- they take it out of the bone. Mon Feb 11 13:13:36 -0800 2008 3386314 58535 banjolinana 2 3390973 I second Prune, with sea salt, parsley salad and toast points. Tue Feb 12 14:59:04 -0800 2008 3386608 74154 irishkevbo 1 3386646 Cafe d'Alsace, and it is excellent. Landmarc in the Time Warner Center has it along with the Tribeca location mentioned by an earlier poster. And the Michael Jordan Steak House in Grand Central used to, but I haven't been there in a long time. Mon Feb 11 13:19:59 -0800 2008 3386314 21629 Michael Ambrosio 1 3386867 Among the ones that were mentioned, Landmarc (Tribeca and TWC), Blue Ribbon (Soho) & Prune served them in vertical bone tube with spoons to scoop out the marrow. I will add Chop Suey, also serving the bone vertically. Crispo and Blue Ribbon TWC serve the bones lengthwise. Craftsteak had the bone marrow "sucked out" already and deep fried. Allen and Delancey has the bone marrow without the bone and somewhat mixed into the dish (I supposed that the way that they wanted us to eat it). Most of the places serve the bone marrow with bread, toastl, and some sort of condiments. My favorite is the onion marmalade at Landmarc. Mon Feb 11 14:01:01 -0800 2008 3386314 54254 kobetobiko 2 3386931 Wow. You are quite the bone-marrow-connoisseur. Which way is the most flavorful, in your opinion? Mon Feb 11 14:11:21 -0800 2008 3386867 106483 doona 3 3387272 I cannot speak for the other places kobetobiko mentioned, but I had the Bone Marrow appetizer at Allen & Delancey last Saturday and it was fantastic. Instead of sea salt it came with caviar to get the saltiness. All of it over a shallot puree with a few pieces of toast on the side to spread it over. It was one of the better appetizers I've had in a long time. The rest of the evening was fantastic as well. I really can't recommend A&D enough. Mon Feb 11 15:28:56 -0800 2008 3386931 13632 harryh 4 3390600 im going here tonight for my bday and im SO excited. I know were getting the bone marrow....and probably the raviolo.... any other must-have suggestions? Tue Feb 12 13:34:34 -0800 2008 3387272 37451 bastet212 5 3390927 Order the Raviolo of Sweetbreads!! Tue Feb 12 14:49:20 -0800 2008 3390600 106483 doona 5 3390996 Besides the raviolo and marrow, I think the spanish mackerel, the beef, cabbage and onion, and the lambs were quite good. Overall, meat better than seafood. I do find the dishes to be quite heavy, so you may put that into consideration when you order. Tue Feb 12 15:02:44 -0800 2008 3390600 54254 kobetobiko 2 3388349 Craftsteak also serves bone marrow in the bone with a spoon with each of their bone-in steaks. Yummmm.... Mon Feb 11 21:49:21 -0800 2008 3386867 139704 meldrom 2 3388368 I prefer the Blue Ribbon (SoHo) version than its sister restaurant at the UWS. The marmalade sauce seems better than the teriyaki version. Mon Feb 11 22:04:14 -0800 2008 3386867 151302 y3n0 1 3388443 The Blue Ribbon (Sulllivan Street in Soho) version is one terrific bone marrow dish, The ox tail marmalade sauce makes it a few notches better. Mon Feb 11 23:14:06 -0800 2008 3386314 10578 RCC 2 3388680 Blue RIbbon and Landmarc, all you need to know... Tue Feb 12 05:08:12 -0800 2008 3388443 163807 baldwinwood 1 3388700 One more vote for Allen & Delancey. Delicious, interesting and unusual preparation. The rest of the food is great, too. Tue Feb 12 05:21:27 -0800 2008 3386314 126803 rrems 1 3390430 Another vote for the Blue Ribbon on Sullivan. I've tried the bone marrow at many of the other restaurants mentioned thus far and, while some have been quite good, none have posed even a minor threat to Blue Ribbon's crown. Tue Feb 12 12:51:34 -0800 2008 3386314 10641 big o 1 3399422 Best: Prune. Consistency was perfect. The sea salt and toast points paired well. Worst: Craftsteaks. Underdone for my liking. A close second to Prune is Landmarc. I'd like to try Blue Ribbon from what I've heard in the past as well as in this thread. Thu Feb 14 20:39:16 -0800 2008 3386314 84063 snoballz 2 5099706 Prune was good but not as fresh as Landmarc who also had a wonderful burger to spread the marrow on top. Blue Ribbon in Brooklyn (park slope) were out of it the night we visited. Blue Ribbon in Soho is next on the list.
