  1. La Casita Blanca is great. So is La Alcapurria Quema in Santurce. Chocobar Cortes is worth a stop for lunch or a coffee/snack. El Batey, La Factoria, The Mezzanine, and The Cannon Club for drinks in OSJ; Botanico for drinks outside of OSJ (I'm sure there are more I'm missing). I haven't been, but Cocina al Fondo looks really good from a JBFA winner. Cafe Manolin is a solid greasy spoon for breakfast. SeƱor Paletas for paletas in fun flavors. ETA: Have a great time!
  2. Not enough people are saying this.
  3. Really enjoyed our meal here. Had a bit of sticker shock looking at the menu but found the portions (at least for the mains) to be fairly generous (though my relatively modest square of Atlantic cod was just under $50). Unfortunately, the garlic butter scallops are only two to an order now instead of four, but as fans of King, we all thought the cooking was comparable. Service was fantastic (coconut cake on the house after we noticed a bunch of other tables ordering it) and it's undeniably cozy inside.
  4. If Starr was truly a visionary he'd relaunch Pasta Flyer nationwide.
  5. Did you end up staying for dinner or going elsewhere?
  6. Sadly, it doesn't. Mine was missing the curled bit of truffle on the right side. I think I was a couple of seats down from you. We were towards the middle of the bar. Still, I would have happily let you steal a truffle if you'd asked.
  7. I just posted in another thread about my experience last night. The vin jaune gelato had passionfruit and I'm pretty sure there was a line of caramel as well. What time were you seated at the bar? I definitely let my half of comte tart languish for a while because I was too full from a late lunch.
  8. Weird. RW is supposed to run for like two more weeks. Walked into Bridges last night and found it pretty expensive for how hit-or-miss it was. No real clunkers, but the comte tart was kind of underwhelming despite the generous amount of truffles. Very nice seared sweetbreads with salsify, but the dish of the night was the vin juane gelato with caramel and passionfruit. Best sundae I've had in a long time ($15 for two scoops, though).
  9. Yes, that's the one, from Angie Mar. I saw the $60 figure on an Eater map but couldn't find a menu online. Is there a link for the $94 lunch prix-fixe?
  10. I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant for Restaurant Week, but I noticed that Le B is participating with a $60 dinner menu. Considering their regular prices, I'm at least a little curious.
  11. When did NYT start copying NYMag with the GIF lead images? Have to say I really enjoy them.
  12. Thanks for this wonderful remembrance. May his memory be a blessing. I always loved reading his posts on here. I think I sat next to him once when I was on assignment anonymously (he posted about his meal the next day and mentioned briefly chatting with a couple which I'm pretty sure was me and my girlfriend at the time) and I regrettably didn't say hello. I wish I had told him how much I appreciated his writing.
  13. Sadly, it looks like 147 Deli has closed.
