Double Play Adds Dinner

Alex Hochman

​

Just in time for the Giants playoff run, the 101-year-old Double Play Bar & Grill has added dinner service. Wednesday through Friday nights, diners can sample a small selection of Chef Rafael Hernandez's rib-sticking specialties.

Wednesday's menu features chicken parmigiana, a lamb shank, or grilled salmon. Thursday's line-up is short ribs, prime rib, and red snapper. And Friday's options consist of osso bucco, chicken marsala, tilapia, and roast leg of lamb. All dinners come with a choice of soup or a house salad and will run you $14 to $18. If you're more in the mood for a few snacks along with your Anchor Steam, Hernandez is serving up fried calamari ($7.99), chicken wings ($6.99) and garlic fries ($5.99).

With its walls covered with Giants and Seals regalia, multiple hi-def flat screens, and Willie Mays a rumored regular, we couldn't think of a better place to cheer on the orange and black. That is if you can't score a ticket.

Double Play Bar & Grill 2401 16th St. (at Bryant), 621-9859.
