Pitcher perfect
With 90 feet of space running along 16th Street outside of Chelsea Market, Creamline Beer Garden’s new, temporary location is serving up must-try drinks and craft beers.
Since opening Thursday, in partnership with Catskill Brewery of Livingston Manor, NY, on tap are beerinfused dishes including warm beer cheese with pretzel chips and soft pretzel nuggets ($9) and a bacon, onion, and beer jam cheeseburger ($15).
“We’re focused on sourcing locally and supporting local farms and makers at our beer garden,” said the chef-owner of Creamline, Harris Mayer-Selinger, 37.
Visitors are particularly enamored with their signature ice cream float featuring Catskill Brewery’s Nightshine Black Lager ($15), as well as the liqueur-infused boozy milkshakes ($15). Catskill
Brewery beers are available on draft and by the can, including their Devil’s Path IPA ($9) and the Freak Tractor Farmhouse Ale ($11).
The beer garden is “festive, enclosed, lush,” according to Mayer-Selinger, who tried to design an “escape from the urban environment.”
The space will remain open for as long as the weather allows. “We think there will always be a desire for people in the city to have an escape without having to travel,” he added.
Tuesday to Sunday, noon to 10 p.m. Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Ave.; 646-410-2040, CreamlineNYC.com
