Zinc's fall menu (and don't forget about the duck press)

We've got the new fall menu at Zinc (246 S. 11th St.) for you after the jump, but it also behooves us to let you know that the French bistro's duck press, which we told you about last month, is up and running. Available Tuesday through Thursday (with two day's advance notice), a full-on duck press meal for two will run you a very reasonable $70. The deal includes a whole roasted Normandy duck carved tableside; after all the meat's sliced, your server will pop the duck carcass into a badass medieval press to extract the fat and juice and blood and other goodness, which are then reduced and served as a sauce with the duck's breasts and potatoes. For a second course, you get the grilled legs and wings of the duck along with a house salad.
