Eating near Madison Square Garden
Will a visit to American Whiskey in Midtown Manhattan please herbivores, carnivores, and flat-out picky eaters? The Bashful Adventurer finds out.

All of the youthful adventurers are joining the Brawny Sherpa and me for a quick bite in Midtown Manhattan before some of them head to a concert at Madison Square Garden. With a sometime vegan, a confirmed carnivore, and several very selective eaters in our little party, the question is, where to go? We decide upon American Whiskey at 247 West 30th Street for its proximity to the Garden and are quickly reassured by our choice. I enjoy falafel made with peas and there are enough beef and chicken and burger selections to satisfy the rest of the group. The Brawny Sherpa and I have fun with inaptly named whiskey cocktails, and the staff, appreciating our need to dine and exit within a limited timeframe, accommodates. We would go again even if we didn’t have anything to do at Madison Square Garden.
