Asado

Asado is the dinner-scale restaurant on 6th Avenue, and the reason the corridor is not only a daytime and drinks street. The kitchen is built around an Argentine wood grill, which shapes the menu: steaks and chops cooked over fire, chimichurri and other Argentine accompaniments, and a wine list weighted toward South America. It opens at 4pm every day and serves into the evening, which puts it deliberately out of phase with the coffee houses and breakfast counters at the eastern end of the strip and makes a single street double as a full day. The address, 2810 6th Ave, sits roughly midway along the business district, a short walk from The Red Hot and Engine House No. 9, so it works as the anchor of an evening on the corridor rather than a destination you drive to in isolation.

What to know

• The kitchen is grill-led, so the menu is built around fire-cooked cuts rather than a broad all-day menu.
• No dinner service before 4pm on any day of the week.

Editor's tips

• Because it opens at 4pm daily, Asado is the piece that turns a 6th Avenue afternoon into a full evening — start with coffee at the eastern end and finish here.
• It is the corridor's highest-price room by some distance; the rest of the street is inexpensive by comparison.
