This is the kind of place that you know will never let you down. There are only a handful of places that I am 100% not afraid to recommend to anybody that I know when they come to visit the city and this place is one of them. Stellar service, beautiful ambience, exquisite food, no pretensions

Seafood chowder with fennel and mussels

Artic Char with sunchokes, mussels, and mizuna

Hanger steak and two bean chili

For dessert, I took the boy to Bourgeois Pig, which is a really cute little fondue and wine bar in the East Village. Be wary if you are a chocoholic or cheesomaniac before you enter this place -- the smell alone will overcome any bit of will power you have. trust me.


Milk Chocolate Fondue with Grand Marnier and Toffee chips. Served with chocolate chip cake, pound cake, kiwi, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, apple, and banana.

They have this insane chandelier that is made of glass antlers. beautiful no? Looking at it reminded me of one of my trips to Italy where we visited the island of Murano -- the glass blowing factory is beyond words.


We were too busy taking photos of food and having fun that I forgot to get a good photo of what I was wearing. In case you're wondering, I'm wearing a Chloé dress by Paolo, Fall'07 look 13 and paired it with my black Chloé combat ankle boots.
Happy birthday again pookie!! ♥
