"Greenwich Village small-plate specialist . . . with funky, skewed-angle decor and free-ranging Eclectic eats."
	"The small-plates phenomenon has permeated menus of nearly every cuisine -- Spanish, Asian, Italian -- but it's not often you can find them all under one roof. At Askew, a stylish new global tapas lounge, chef Chris Lim (Town, Daniel and Upstairs at '21') prepares finger food in addition to fancier fare, such as beet and goat cheese salad jazzed up with sesame and Asian pear" >> more

	Small plates make for good meals, especially when shared. Askew offers such creations as beets and red cabbage with goat cheese, Asian pears and sesame seeds, along with jerk chicken served on a skewer with sour orange glaze slaw and chickpea crepes, all for $15 or less.

	Enter Askew, and you might feel like you’ve stepped into a scene from Barbarella—pink-and-fuchsia-flowered Lucite tables, white plastic chairs, and lime green-patterned walls. And though the mod décor, groovy music, and tapas-style menu make for a casual vibe, the cuisine is surprisingly complex. Standouts are the tempura shrimp—plump, in a light, crisp batter—and the hamachi ceviche, in which the fish is complemented rather than overpowered by jalapeños and cilantro. >> more
