“Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of few
perceives what has been carefully hidden.”
—Phaedrus
Thanks, Phaedrus.
For today, we apply those words to the Daisy, a gastropub from the Agave team with significant Mexican
undertones to be perceived, now open on the UES.
Just choose something that pairs well with mezcal, tequila or agave, because that’s the move here.
(Consider the Scorcher, with tequila, blood orange, pomegranate-habanero syrup—or go for the namesake
cocktail with black-pepper-infused tequila.)
And stopping by on a weekend for bottomless brunch is not a terrible idea, considering the sidewalk seating
and fried-egg-topped short rib quesadillas.
