Sorry! I thought we were making predictions.

Four stars for Frog Club

Has anyone been recently? Haven't been back in a number of years. Missed out on Pujol and Contramar during my last trip, so I figure I should try to get there this time around.

Having visited a couple of months ago, let me also recommend the recently opened Porgy's Seafood Market, which has a brief but well-executed food menu; also Fives, a small cocktail bar in the Quarter with creative takes on standards (like a marrow-washed Sazerac) and a competent kitchen with bistro-esque cooking. Very possible you've been already, but I had never eaten at Compere Lapin or La Petite Grocery and both were pretty fantastic (I love the LPG dining room). Have a great trip!

I am on a charmed streak with restaurant meals in New York City. Francie twice, Cafe Carmellini. It’s not usually like this (it’s usually like something I could have cooked better at home, hello chewy duck).
I am overdue for a return to Foxface, but where else should I go?
Based on a lunch earlier this year, the answer might be Le CouCou.
I had a great meal at Little Mad a few weeks back.

I just searched the New Yorker site-- 1 month since the last Rosner piece.
Her last was Café Carmellini (unless you're only counting Tables for Two).

The food here is still very good, but the prices have jumped quite a bit. A lone veggie burger is $20, up from $9 at the old location. The yuba sandwich, which granted is on a larger bun, went from $9 to $25. Sides that used to be under $10 are now like $17-$18 and the portions are barely larger. Individual desserts are $16. We enjoyed our meal, but can't say anyone was itching to return for the price.

This gets progressively less weird as you scroll down, but it starts off with some head-scratchers. https://ny.eater.com/maps/where-to-eat-guide-valentines-day-nyc

From the Junoon team, in the former Ssam Bar space on 13th and 2nd. Some solid dishes (the green chili chicken RS highlighted in his review was nicely spiced), and kudos for having brains on the menu. I'll walk a few blocks over to Foxface Natural when I'm in the mood for goat, though.

I think they had lobsters (you see the crab?).
Whoops, you're right. I only gave it a glance before I posted.

Here it is, and it looks like crab was had: https://www.grubstreet.com/2024/01/the-end-of-the-year-i-ate-new-york.html

I know food journalism (along with the rest of the industry) is dying, and I definitely took some liberties when I was getting reimbursed for meals, but the guy who took over from TT as diner-at-large went on a wild corporate card spending spree during his final week of the gig that included dinner at The Grill and taking 21 people to Wu's. I'm honestly impressed. (I can't find a link. It's his latest newsletter.)

And the question always persists of how much the chef is actually "cooking" at these museum places.
I get the feeling Moya is actually cooking at Clara, as if it were a real restaurant.
But I wonder whether Telepan's Met gig is more like Saul Bolton's "cooking" at the Brooklyn Museum, where he was more the figurehead on a concession run by a public-spaces restaurant/catering group.
That's the thing -- Moya is now head of a restaurant group with multiple venues spread across Brooklyn and Manhattan, so he wasn't at Clara that night. Not that it mattered much, at least food-wise.

Based on my experience I was attempting sarcasm, but maybe Pete fared better.
