Meanwhile, you have menu choices to make on the first floor. Order the local favorite called a Toastie ($6.50), a pita delight consisting of creamy spinach-and-artichoke-hearts topping with Gouda cheese. If you're truly famished, indulge in the most popular entrée, the halibut encrusted with spinach and topped with sherry butter ($23). Plan to have dessert. York Street cakes are worth every bite and calorie. Try either thechocolate-hazelnut flourless torte or the strawberry buttermilk cake ($5 per slice).
