A large group of us met at Worthwild, a pub on Ninth Avenue and 20th Street because of its proximity to The Joyce, where we were off to see the amazing MoMix dancers.

Our friends had been a few times before and decided the best way to dine was to share a few appetizers and cocktails.

We sampled their garlicky shrimp with polenta & harissa ($24 for four shrimp); their burrata with green harissa and crisp naan ($22); the grilled wild greens with pine nuts ($27), four large scallops with pesto and pickled cauliflower ($25) and, my favorite, the the grilled octopus with smoked potatoes with sliced Spanish olives.

Worthwild is a perfect place to grab a bite before heading to The Joyce Theatre to see the Momix, the incredible company of dancer-illusionists who never disappoint.

I highly recommend.
