The owners of
Fisk and
White Slab Palace used to have a huge space way downtown near us (I think it was Orchard between Canal and Division) called
Good World Bar and Grill. It was in this great old building that got torn down to make room for some new hideous monstrosity. When that happened I figured the funky, fun Scandinavian gastro pub that was
Good World was gone for good. When
White Slab opened (about a year later?) I didn't make any connection, but when
Fisk opened next store to
White Slab (a couple of weeks ago) I got suspicious and went in and ask and indeed this is the resurrection and rethinking of
Good World.
It's just so damn quirky you have to love it. How many places do you know that serve herring, local brewed beer and have a stuffed reindeer head on the wall?
White Slab is great for an early evening drink, located right on the corner of Delancey and Allen (77 Delancey 212.334.0913). The entire place is all glass doors that they open up when it's nice out (it's the last picture). You get a nice breeze and a wonderful vista of the comings and goings of the Lower East Side. So the next time you have a hankering for some Swedish tapas and a beer this is the place for you.
