NY State of Mind...



With our trip north next week, we are in restaurant mode and wanted to share with you some of our favorite NYC places to dine...
  • J G Melon-THE BEST HAMBURGER IN NYC if not the world..., chili and fries are wonderful too. Great neighborhood atmosphere...(When I worked at Tiffany's, we would often meet here for lunch! Never will forget the time a handsome man in a tweed jacket, with his back to me, responded to my request to use a vacant chair at his table...Sean Connery...007...could not breath or speak for a moment...)
  • Aquavit- wonderful Sunday brunch for a taste of a Scandanavian smorgasbord.Herring,Swedish beef Rydberg, salmon in brioche, mini lobster roll...Smaklig Maltid!!
  • Per Se- even jaded NY'ers love this restaurant...Thomas Keller (of The Laundry fame, Napa Valley- Laundry considered the best restaurant in America). Look out over the treetops of Central Park while you savor the food elegantly presented on his line of dishes by Raynaud. Try the salmon canapes to start and a chef's tasting menu, black sea bass with watercress, or chaud-froid-soft foie gras, apples and brioche.
  • Le Bernardin- the best of the best fabulous French seafood.
  • China Grill- Chinese fusion in the CBS building. Try peking duck salad with tangerine sauce or the tempura sashimi.
We will be adding more to the list after our trip, so please stay tuned...
