Quince
Still one of our favorite restaurants in the city. We eat out most Thursdays and theoretically this was an early b-day meal for me. We usually eat early, but I did book this last minute so we had a 7:30 reservation. Service was definitely busy compared to our last time here in September for an…

Gabriel Kreuther
Lunch at Gabriel Kreuther (2-Michelin etoiles). 3 course prix fixe, with a truffled amuse to start. Foie gras terrine for me (hey, I can’t get foie gras in SF). Duck confit for the main which was deliciously rich as you’d want/expect. A bit on the heavy side for lunch, but no complaints. Good thing I…

Kochi
Here in NYC for work and was able to convince my coworkers to try this Korean skewer place (1 Michelin star) which conveniently was only a couple blocks from our hotel. Food was so different and interesting compared to the usual fare…different layers of flavors with each course and the wine/soju pairings worked really well.…

Yuji
We eat out a lot so always in something new and unique. This week I had us booked at Yuji, a kappo-style Japanese restaurant with a scant 8 seats in the heart of Japantown that just opened up a couple weeks ago. You can’t book them on OpenTable, Resy, or Tock (or even Seven rooms)…

Gary Danko
After we finished dinner yesterday, Andrea half-jokingly challenged me to find dinner for tonight. I’m not one to back down in finding a favorable dinner reservation, so challenge accepted! I booked us for Gary Danko, a place we haven’t eaten in 15-20 years and we were curious to see wat they were like. Back on…

Rooh
Impromptu dinner reservation today…it’s rainy and we didn’t feel like grocery shopping and cooking and we already have dinner reservations for tomorrow. I recently read an article (can’t recall where) about this restaurant although it’s been open since 2017. It’s an elevated Indian fusion restaurant. We miss Dosa ever since they closed and Indian Oven…

Birch & Rye
We had a small window to see Trisha only because her return flight home was delayed. We did a walk-in to the counter at the newest restaurant in our neighborhood, a contemporary Georgian restaurant. We had to have much of their infused vodka (we went with the horseradish vodka) and of course caviar. We tried…

The Modern
We weren’t sure what we were going to do for dinner, but Andrea said she wanted something nice so who am I to refuse. I was able to score a last minute reservation here at The Modern. There are actually three concepts – the Bar which is more casual, the dining room where we are,…

Momofuku Ko
After watching all of those David Chang tv shows, we had to eat here. Not much comment but a fantastic dining experience. Of course we were the last ones in the restaurant…
