[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] 200 FIFTH

WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT... is a recurring column designed in kind for your opinionated asses and our lazy asses.  We're going to pick one Park Slope resto a week and recommend our favorite dish at each.  Are we right?  Are we wrong?  YOU KNOW YOU WANNA WEIGH IN.  

Have you ever walked into a restaurant and thought to yourself, "Wow, this place is about as confused as my Broadway musical-loving cousin David!"

Well—welcome to 200 Fifth.

And that's totally fine.  Hooray for sports bars!

What I don't understand is why they insist on the white table cloths and a menu that features ambitious entrees like Penne Arugala with Scallops and Shrimp Scampi in White Wine Sauce.  These dishes are well-meaning, yes, but to belabor tired sports metaphors—they strike out. 

So, if you find yourself here on game day, don't order the Mustard-crusted Salmon—order off of the bar menu (or the "Nibbles & Bites" menu). 

The absolute best thing you can get? 

The Wings Sampler ($14.95) is piled high with a bunch of different flavors—southern-fried, BBQ, Buffalo, and my favorite: breaded.
