Yes, I've had the avocado toast at Cork - both in the early days as well as recently (it's still on Cork's menu). The avocado toast at Marta and Craft were along the same lines. A slide of bread, toasted, with avocado though at Marta and Craft, the avocado was in the form of a spread/mash while Cork's version has thin slices of avocado. At Marta, the menu description for their avocado toast is "Whole Grain Toast, Fork Crushed Avocado, Chili Flake, Olio Verde" - $9. The avocado topping needed some salt. At Craft, the menu description for their avocado toast is "radish, pea shoots, pickled jalapeno, cilantro" - $13.

Well, I was at Craftbar recently for brunch, and I see that the last post in this thread was from me over 3 years ago. I guess Craftbar continues to be one of my go-to places in NY. I really liked their avocado toast, which was more flavorful than the avocado toast I had earlier that day at Marta. I also really liked their toast with ricotta, fried shallots (like fried onion strings), and asparagus. I got the meatballs, which I wrote about above, and I still enjoy. This version was meatballs in sauce with garlic toast.
