There's Newburgh at the Waterfront and "downtown". It looks as if the downtown area around Liberty Street is a bit depressed. "All The Food That's Fit To Eat" is the insignia of a restaurant called The Wherehouse. Front room is very "bar-ish" with un-fancy tables. There is a back room for events for singing and such. Of course, what's really important is the food.
Down home cooking and the owner wants it done from scratch. Passed up the starters, although I might have gone for the Wherehouse Wings - one pound of plump chicken wings, steamed to keep them tender, then fried golden brown. The soup of the day was Broccoli Florentine. Loads of bbq items to choose from, but I was most curious about their Kobe Beef Burgers. The Yokozuna - half pound burger with hand cut fries, sauteed onions, mushrooms, cheese and bacon. Rather than eating the cut fries (which looked more like soggy potato chips) I opted for sweet potato fries and not the frozen kind. Yes, they make their own. It looks as though Esther enjoyed the fries as well. And no, she wasn't cooked...she was just wanting to be funny.
I understand that this place has about 100 different beers including one line called He-brew. Lots of different sodas as well.
