But 1st, some blog action, from NYC.
Restaurants eaten/drunk at: Joe's Shanghai (soup dumplings), Katz's deli (corned beef on rye), Death & Company (high end cocktails and a tuna plate), Cafe Mogador (Moroccan food), D.B.A (a bar with lots of great beer), a dimsum place I cannot recall the name of (I was the only non Chinese person there), Bar Masa (technically perfect sushi, although very expensive and not a good value), Bar Jamon (the cat's meow, Spanish tapas and cups of txakoli!), Blue Hill NYC (4.5 hour dinner), Les Enfants Terribles (with a hot girl I picked up on the subway), Donut Plant (really need to explain this?). There was some NYC pizza in there too somewhere.....
Seen/visited/heard: MOMA, the Natural History Museum, a snowy/quiet/amazing Central Park, a crazy guy annoyingly singing "Jingle Bell Rock on the subway for no apparent reason, a woman saying on her cellphone: "I don't know if you're dead or if you're alive, just call me," and a woman telling her friend: "how am I doing? I'm worse than awful!"
And finally, my experience at Blue Hill, long format. The formatting got wrecked by google docs, but this is it. In all its glorious detail.
An incredible sounding dinner. Even without Dan at the helm, I'm glad to know you were in such great hands. I hope the memories last and fuel your passion for local foods.
ReplyDeleteThat Blue Hill write-up is amazing, man. So good. It leaves me feeling warm and delighted.
