Lexington Frite

“The fry at Lexington Frite does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The thick-cut format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”

“There are establishments in Financial District that treat the fry as a supporting player. Lexington Frite is not among them. The thick-cut format is ambitious. The peanut is appropriate. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato announces itself earnest and specific. The portion is reasonable. This guide takes no position on portion size as a moral category. The fries are recommended. The fry alone merits the journey to Financial District.”
