The Ugly Duckling in the East Village is anything but what its cheeky name might imply - this playful, scrumptious haven will fill you up with succulent eats, exceptional cocktails, and energetic vibes - the combination for a perfect evening feast.
Grab your $39 pulse (an $82 value) for a Dinner For Two that includes 2 Entrees as well as 2 Cocktails, lovingly referred to as "Ducktails."
Mix & mingle with uber-cool New Yorkers who love pleasure & epicurean decadence. Kick off the delicious fun with cocktails like The Duck Face made with Blank vodka, Chinola, pineapple juice, lime, simple syrup, and Yellow Red Bull, or the Duck In A Row - think Empress gin, mezcal, pomegranate juice, lime, and agave.
Next up, slice into tender Pan Seared Duck Breast (mixed vegetables, mushroom risotto, mixed berry demi glaze reduction), not to mention slurps of Oysters On The Half Shell. Lest we forget, the Sliced Steak Sandwich is a dream layered with baby arugula, melted provolone, honey horseradish, sautéed mushrooms, and garlic bread.
This dinner is something worth quacking about...
Drool-inducing food, mixologist-crafted drinks, and - ducks? The latter is the theme throughout The Ugly Duckling, the newly minted East Village gem situated perfectly just steps from Union Square.
The space is contemporary-cool with a heavy infusion of playfulness and vibrant energy. Think mini rubber duck drink garnishes, and lol-worthy wall art sure to encourage a chuckle, plus an air of effortless merriment perfect for a date or a night with your pals.
The Ugly Duckling upholds their adherence to making your time there less of a destination, and more of an unforgettable experience.
Sip on glasses of The Wise Cracker (rye, lime, honey, apricot liqueur, prosecco) and the Quack of Dawn (Cayeya tequila, Cardamaro, cinnamon, cold crew), savoring every swig before the main attraction arrives at the table.
We're talking Sesame Seared Rare Ahi Tuna (edamame, roasted corn, soy glaze, wasbai creme), Steak Bits (melted mozzarella, toasted garlic bread, smoked honey bbq sauce), the Bourbon Burger (pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, topped with bourbon bbq duck, pretzel bun) and so much more, all ready for you to consume with glee.
Flap your wings and get to shaking your tail feathers - this is a night you won't want to miss...
