So with no indoor dining still in sight I met a friend uptown at Amaranth which is located just off Madison Avenue on 62nd Street between Madison and Fifth.

Amaranth serves a menu of Mediterranean cuisine, a fusion of original Italian food and French food with a large portion of specialty items imported from Italy and France.

Here is their regular menu

So it was a hot, muggy Manhattan evening and I needed something really light.  I decided to order their the small portion of their Jumbo Crab Meat Salad which came with Avocado, Arugula and Grapefruit. It was on their menu for today.

It was sooo fresh and so delicious and perfect for a hot, muggy Manhattan evening.

The restaurant was pretty full when we left and I would definitely return and try some of their other menu choices.
