What You'll Get
A grumbling stomach can disturb fellow theatergoers, sour the mood of a wedding, and occasionally escape to steal radishes from a neighbor's vegetable garden. Subdue your onerous abdomen with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Argentinean fare and drinks at Bistro 1401 on Southwest 22nd Street.
Bistro 1401 Bistro serves a taste bud-tantalizing menu of traditional Argentinean dishes peppered with a pinch of Italian flair. Diners can warm up long-dormant teeth with the oven-baked portobello tower, a balsamic glaze-drizzled skyscraper of mushrooms cemented with tomato, prosciutto, and fresh mozzarella ($9). The protein-packed 16-ounce skirt steak ($19) and organic herbed-marinated chicken paillard ($14) come with a savory sidekick, such as mashed potatoes, sautéed bacon spinach, sweet-potato fries, or a masked man in a cape and tights. Carb cravers can mix and match one of seven pastas with six slow-cooked sauces, including the chef-recommended four-cheese caramelloni painted in creamy pesto ($14). The Argentinean crepe, stuffed with dulce de leche, sweetens the homemade-dessert menu ($8).
The 40-seat bistro, adorned in dark wood and shelves of wine bottles, treats patrons to live music on Saturday nights and saucy tango performances on Thursday evenings. Diners can sip a glass of Argentinean Malbec at a table accented with fresh flowers and candlelight ($8). Owner and head chef Fabio Pizelman has been known to greet patrons as they enter the restaurant and inquire on the status of their unfinished autobiographical operas as they exit.
