We got word that StirRED, the new lower level lounge at Rouge Tomate, is opening today and that for the entire opening week “your second drink will be on the house.”   Wonder if that applies to drinks 4, 6, 8 and 10, too. Rogue Tomate, the Brussels-based behemoth of a health-conscious restaurant on East 60th, adheres to an 85-page nutritional charter — the sacred text of a corporate philosophy known as SPE, an acronym for Sanitas Per Escam, or Health Through Food. The doctrine involves nutrition, sourcing and social and environmental consciousness, and it is all monitored by a full-time dietitian. Curious where that leaves room for alcohol, but apparently the cocktails all have to play by the “house rules” and the pre-prohibition style cocktail list features a selection of housemade sodas, brandies and soaked cherries. You can expect about half the calories that these cocktails would typically have. StirRED also has a menu of various Tapas-style cuisine, as well as some sweet treats.  The full menu appears below here.
