Bowery Beef (CLOSED)

A trio of friends, including Mike Herman of the defunct pop-up party spot Mike's Apartment, have made it their mission to bring the specialty of Harrison's Roast Beef in North Andover, MA, to NYC. A 15-year vet of Harrison's doles out the renditions here, made of thin slices of rare meat doused with vinegary BBQ sauce and sandwiched in a squishy hamburger bun. To drink, find juices, Blue Bottle coffee and Bosco chocolate soda. Unlike its bare-bones Beantown inspiration, the airy eatery is kitted out with pots and pans hanging from brass chandeliers and antique knickknacks (mirrors, clocks, birdcages) thrifted from Savannah.
