"Happenings"at Pace Gallery Seriously Was Happening
Feb 10 2012
Last night was Thursday night which if you are in New York – and per chance made time in your fashion schedule for bit of art – you were probably tramping around the West 20s hussling for some white wine and trying to catch a glimpse of art through all those bodies milling about. We were one or two of those bodies (sorry if we blocked your view) at The Pace Gallery for...
The Deal Closer
Feb 08 2012 / by stan d'arde
There are few things in life of which I am genuinely scared. (My mother sometimes falls into that category, but I digress.) Another one of those things which causes my heart to pound a little faster and my brow to break into a light sweat is The Deal Closer. For those of you who have never been to The Standard Grill, you won’t understand. But for those of you that have, you know...

Warming up with Some Standard Tomato Soup
Dec 29 2011
We’re not sure what the weather is like where you’re at on this quiet December eve, but we’re quiet chilly and decided to rustle up some of Chef Silverman’s tomato soup, the very one he serves at The Standard, New York Ice Rink, right in front of The Standard Grill. He was kind enough to re-calibrate the recipe size, down from his original proportions which makes five...

It's Hot Toddy Time!
Dec 13 2011
There are only 3 things that make the Winter cold not only tolerable, but, dare we say, enjoyable? One is a good fireplace. Two is ice skating. Three is none other than the classic “Hot Toddy” drink. Old wives tales claim it’s good for flus and colds, but we think it’s just an all around amazing cocktail. If you’re not able to make it to our Kaffeeklatsch at...

Brunch at The Standard Grill (and a Recipe!)
Oct 25 2011
Rules that apply to other meals don’t apply to brunch, well at least not as many rules. It is one of those rare moments in gastronomy where for a reasonable exchange of currency you can consume virtually anything you want. Coffee and juice, water and wine, sweets and savories, meats and vegetables, hair of the dog or just the dog. It is as close as one can get to a modern day...

V Magazine's Standard Photo Booth

When V Magazine talks. Most people listen….including The Standard, New York. That’s why when they called asking to use our photo booth downstairs in The Standard Grill, we said Bring it on, V!

Best Burger In The World
Feb 01 2011 / by stan d'arde
You, more than anyone, know that I have a few guilty sins. Okay, some of you know I have A LOT of guilty sins, but we don’t really have to share those here right now. Moving on. One of the sins that I do want to share with you though is Chef Dan Silverman’s Ranch Burger from The Standard Grill. Canada’s Kiwi Collection just voted it one of the best...

Steak and Skate - Catherine Despont
Jan 20 2011 / by team thread
I visited The Standard Grill recently, and sat in back at the chef’s counter. Tiny bursts of flames were flaring around extravagant cuts of beef. Layers of winter clothes came off. I ordered a dirty martini and watched the steaks get thumbed and prodded by the expert fingers of the grill cook. He must have a girlfriend, I thought. And at home, late at night, his hands must press her...
