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!

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.

The Modern

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…

Marea
Tonight’s dinner was at a slightly lower key restaurant. Still 1 Michelin star, but had the benefit of being only a block away from out hotel. Italian cuisine. Cocktails were good but nothing special. Bread (focaccia and a 7-grain) was fine but nothing special. For the oysters, we went with sweet petite from Prince Edward

Restaurant Daniel
This was one of the many restaurants on my list to try in NYC. We managed to score same day reservation late, which fortunately wasn’t very late for us since we’re still on pacific time zone. We’re not used to coming in on the second seating so there was a bit of a wait before
