New York City: Markt

A classic Belgian brasserie, located in the heart of the Chelsea district, Markt has very comfortable food with an air of European home-cooking. I started with the lobster bisque - it tasted rich but the texture was overly smooth and lacked the chunks of lobster that give the soup substance. The shrimp croquettes were perfect -- breaded and fried lightly with evocative taste. I split the creme brulee with a co-worker and it was quite enjoyable.
