Celsius

is the name of a temporary 2 story restaurant/lounge in NYC's Bryant Park overlooking The Pond - the free ice skating rink.

"J" and I went there for a mid week lunch and sat downstairs in the bar/lounge. There was a 25 minute wait to sit upstairs in the restaurant area. And no wait to sit outside on the patio (even with the individual heat lamps at each table it was 36F outside and a bit too chilly for us.

"J" had the skirt steak sandwich with fries and horseradish sauce for $17. I had the chicken pot pie (stuffed with only chicken and not the usual potatoes and carrots) for $15. I also had a Hot Chocolate Storm - hot chocolate topped with mini marshmallows, whipped cream and chocolate chips for $5. There were so many marshmallows that I had to poke through them to get to the hot chocolate portion.

"J" and I shared a warm apple tart ala mode for dessert $9.
