Wilde himself… Wilde Burger is made with Brisket blend patty, Irish cheddar cheese and tomato. We had to get something that is named after Mr. Simple yet elegant and tasty dish.įor savory dish, we went with Wilde Burger ($18). Whipped cream is clearly homemade, no added sugar which was nice. The bread was fluffy and was thickly sliced. For sweet one, we ordered French Toast ($16), which comes with fresh berries, whipped cream and powdered sugar.
I am not sure if I wanted more strawberry flavor, or this was just right amount… Regardless, it was quite refreshing.įor food, we wanted to get one sweet and one savory dish. Strawberry Moscow Mule had great ginger flavor that was nice and sweet, with hint of strawberry that is not overwhelming.
Great drink to have at the beach! Sweet, strong and fun, very fitting…thanks Mary! Strong and passionate women in any era always inspire me…and to honor her, why not enjoy the brunch with a cocktail named after her? The cocktail was fruity which is what I love. She co-founded film studios, with nicknames like “America’s Sweetheart” and “Queen of the Movies” with Academy Awards for Best Actress. She was such a pioneer, especially during that period. Mary Pickford was a film actress and producer in the 1900s. I ordered Mary Pickford cocktail ($14) from “Prohibition” menu, and my hubby ordered Strawberry Moscow Mule ($14) from “Seasonal” menu. The drink menu was quite fun, it was separated into four categories Victorian, Prohibition, Wise Guys and Seasonal. We started off our brunch with some cocktails. Who doesn’t want to have a sip of water in a fancy goblet? That almost transform boring water into magical clear liquid that cleanses our pallet… Yes, goblet, made of glass, in deep wine-purple color. Everywhere you look, you can find some kind of history.Īs we sat down, a staff brought us water in a goblet. So, as you can imagine, it is such an interesting place. Cool! And even the ceiling was filled with nostalgic designs and chandeliers. I later found out that these table bases are meant for fountains. We sat at the Bar area with beautifully designed tables. Oh yeah! They have some items like wood paneling and other historical architecture from castles, stained glass from Milan, and lots of antique clocks, all set to 1:50, the time of Oscar Wilde’s death. Their bar holds the title of NYC’s longest bar, over 110 feet, featuring Carrara marble and gold draft taps across the length of the restaurant. The whiskey bar seen in these photos below is actually a repurposed 1819 player piano! How awesome is that? Just being in this space does feel like you are in some kind of art museum, or an old, historical mansion with lots of antiques and collectible. And they are not just “decorations” but most of them are extraordinary art collections! I mean, seriously, I questioned “where are we?” as I walked in, glamorous, sophisticated and elegant, but over-the top decoration everywhere. Interesting indeed!īack to the restaurant…and from here we were transported back to Victorian Era. Wilde’s legacy lives on through his talent and philosophy, and for celebration of love, his homeland of Ireland became the first nation in the world to legalize gay marriage, a tribute to Wilde’s progressive life and ideas. However, he was persecuted for his sexuality, and sentenced for two years for a crime of having a relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas. He was considered to be one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London. Wait, didn’t I just see you outside? He moves fast! There was a cute little rabbit by his side, I assume from his story, “ The Star-Child” unless there is another story that has rabbit in them… And here is the quick facts and interesting information about Oscar Wilde: He established himself within fashionable and intellectual circles in the London scene through his biting wit, flamboyant style, and conversational talent.
Wilde was greeting everyone at the entrance, in the inside. I was excited to see what this place has to offer…Īnd then, Mr. The door itself was fancy with golden mermaids as the door handles. The bench had American Flag design on it, which was interesting. Wilde himself was casually sitting on a bench outside. Intrigued, we headed out on weekend for brunch. And I discovered a restaurant named after him. One of the renowned writer lived during this era and produced striking novel such as The Picture of Dorian Gray. There is something about the Victorian era… It comes with great novels, architecture, fashion and all other things that somehow are romantic and elaborate.
