Roll Out The Red Carpet, The Pennsy Food Hall Celebrates The Grammys All Week!
Literally next door to Madison Square Garden, the Pennsy Food Hall is welcoming the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. This great gathering space is the perfect place to people watch. And with its proximity to this Sunday's award show, you may very well see some top talent grabbing a bite. An outdoor tented lounge area has been set up to welcome all comers to a combination of great things to eat, creative cocktails and of course, celeb watching. And what would a celebration be without specials on the menu?

Start out with drinks from the Pennsy Bar...The Winner Is pairs Prosecco, St. Germaine, and blood orange puree with a salted rim ($14.) Or quaff Billy Joel's Favorite, the NY State of Mind, which consists of Absolut vodka and Italian grapefruit soda with a salted rim ($14.).
Butcher Pat LaFrieda is all in with his Triple Platinum Truffle Burger served on a toasted brioche bun topped with melted provolone cheese. Or how about The Snoop Dog? It's a hot dog on toasted ciabatta with caramelized onions, honey mustard and big peppers.
Mad about sushi? Pennsy's Sabi Sushi presents The P!nk Roll ($12): a delicious sushi roll with spicy tuna and avocado on the inside, tempura flakes and jalapeno on the outside, and wrapped in pink soy paper.
Sandwiches more your style? Ribalta Mo' makes a mean panini. This week try The Red Carpet Special ($10):a classic yet scrumptious chicken panini served with a free soda.
At The Little Beet, $13.25 will get you The Rock 'n Bowl : A brown rice bowl with spirulina, braised pork shoulder, sweet potato mac 'n cheese, charred broccoli and picked onions, all topped with a piquillo garlic sauce.
And if your taste runs to vegan tacos, Taco Dumbo offers up The Ancho Americano LP ($5), a crunchy taco filled with plant-based beef, black bean mash, and vegan lime crema, all in an organic blue hard shell. Pair your taco with their Grammium ($12): a show stopping cocktail made with Starr African rum, elderflower liqueur and watermelon-lime cold-pressed juice.
The Pennsy's Specials come to a halt on Sunday (for security reasons,) so do get over there before then and celebrate a little Grammy award yourself.
