To weather the economic deathspin, West Village restaurant Bar Blanc closed earlier this year and reopened as the somewhat more casual Bar Blanc Bistro. Chef Sebastiaan Zijp has recently been taking the edge of the work week with "Moules Frites Monday," which gets you a bowl of mussels, frites and a draft beer for $18. Zijp's moules preparations include the classic white wine, butter, garlic & parsley; a smoked sausage with onion, beer & chives; coconut curry with lemongrass, kafir lime, ginger & cilantro; or roasted tomato and fennel broth with saffron & basil.There's also a newish Sunday brunch menu, and on Sunday night the bistro serves a $35 prix fixe; peruse the menu here.
