Alt. to Jacob's Pickles? Bread pudding?

Question

I was really looking forward to Jacob's Pickles this Saturday for dinner but it looks like they'll be closed due to a fire. :( Their turkey leg and cast iron biscuit bread pudding look so good! I'm trying to figure out where to go instead, keeping with that mid-range price. I'm looking for somewhere to get that kind hot dessert like bread pudding or a crumble. Cast iron skillet not required but you get the idea. Hot/gooey/ice cream on top. Obviously they must also have decent dinner. Any ideas? Other places we're going on this trip- Ssam Bar, Quality Meats, Via Carota, Motorino

Answer

The Smith at Lincoln Center does a skillet toffee pudding. You can also find non-skillet bread pudding at Carmine's and, fwiw, warm chocolate cake at various spots, such as The Milling Room and Burke & Wills. 

N.B. -- I'm not a dessert guy so these are just ideas, not endorsements.

Answer

Boulton & Watt might come close. Similar price point, eight or nine kinds of pickles. No bread pudding but they do a cast iron chocolate chip cookie.

Raymi has a bread pudding served in cast iron - it'd be significantly different than JP (it's Peruvian) but you could share a roast chicken for your entree, which is turkey-ish.

Getting more expensive: The crispy boneless duckling followed by the hot apple cobbler (with a scoop) at Henry's End would be a great "nice night out" upgrade for JP's turkey leg & bread pudding. Price point they're higher than JP, maybe on a par with Ssam Bar (depending what you would order at Ssam, their prices vary a bit) but a bit lower than Quality Meats. (Not to knock QM, but you could even consider subbing HE for -that- meal) - it's Brooklyn, but only one stop into the borough, and bonus you can walk down to the pier under the Brooklyn Bridge before/after. Not exactly a bad place to watch the day turn to evening from. (Or if the weather's nice you can walk across the bridge to get there.)

Answer

We love The Ribbon's fried chicken and chocolate chip bread pudding (on West 72nd St. between CPW and Columbus).
