F: Is for Food on the High line

The new hotspot The Standard Grill is opened for breakfast lunch and dinner, that is if you can get in. This is the A-listers newest fab hangout. Nestled under the High Line a typical night includes Beyonce, Jay-Z, Vogue's Anna Wintour and daughter Bee Schaffer, Project Runway winner Christian Siriano. It's like an issue of The Fashion Week Daily up in there! Standard Grill diners have also included Elle's creative director Joe Zee, Sandra Bernhard, designer Chris Benz, model Helena Christensen, Amy Sacco, Cameron Diaz, Julianne Moore, and even Jack Dorsey, the creator of Twitter. Maybe it is the cool penny floor that it used 250 pennies per square foot, or 480,000 pennies in all. The chef is Dan Silverman previously at Lever House, and he changes the menu daily. The house cocktails have gin and crushed blackberries.
Items on the menu have been listed as iceberg lettuce with Kentucky bacon and blue cheese dressing, organic pork chop, rib-eye, halibut, roasted local beets, duck fat smashed potatoes and Spanish octopus w/ sweet potato and chiles. Well except for the last one I think I need to check this out and that is a F.A.C.T.
