Former Capital Grille bartenders Eddie Crane and Ernesto Peralto opened The Drop in Martini Corner, a trendy collection of Midtown bars and restaurants. With their formidable mixology skills, they created a glamorous menu of martinis, beers and wines, among them a red wine number fashioned from Pinot Noir and a milky lychee version garnished with whole lychee. Chef Kelli Daniels offers a 70 percent organically driven menu, and it isn't just about bruschetta. An example: off-kilter but addictive popcorn-crusted red snapper with orange-chile caramel. For something lighter, there's a toasty panzanella or a festive arugula and pomegranate salad. Panini include a vegetarian take with marinated eggplant, hummus and roasted red peppers as well as focaccia stuffed with grilled, locally made Scimeca's sausage and caramelized onions. The pastry chef’s chocolate panini and milk and cookies desserts are favorites.
