New menus at Continental Mid-town

Filed Under: Menu Time

Meal Ticket's got the new dinner and drink menus for Stephen Starr's Continental Mid-town (1801 Chestnut St., 215-567-1800, continentalmidtown.com).

It's still global tapas in approach, but there are a quite a few bright and shiny additions, including several new vegetarian items. (Standards like the grilled octopus and the French onion soup dumplings are staying.) New sweet-toothy martinis include the Sourpuss (Smirnoff, St-Germain, sparkling wine, lemon, Nerds) and the Twizzle (Smirnoff citrus, strawberry puree, lemon, red licorice).

Full dinner and drink menus after the jump.

St. Germain and Nerds!? Two of my favorite things, together at last.

I was just there last night and noticed the changes but figured they happened a while ago.  And I'm glad the octopus is still on there.  That's one of my favorite dishes in town.
