    Cabbage is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of ways in cooking.

    Cabbage is low calories but high in nutrients and fiber.

     

    Not enough people are saying this.

  2. 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.

    Unfortunately I can’t post the RW menu at Le B, even though I’m sitting at the bar right now, because they “don’t do Restaurant Week on the weekends,” and in any event, “yesterday was the last day.”  Which seems like a blatant lie. 

    Did you end up staying for dinner or going elsewhere?

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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).

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    +1 on Fish Shop. And a fine pub in the same neighborhood, The Cobblestone, with nightly trad Irish music.

    Brother Hubbard (two locations, one north of the Liffey, the other south) does a fine breakfast.

    If you'd want to visit the James Joyce Centre (small but charming), right around the corner is a sandwich shop, 147 Deli, that is phenomenal (takeaway only).

     

    Sadly, it looks like 147 Deli has closed.

  10. Thanks all for the suggestions. My friend had her car with her, so we wound up heading to Ugly Baby after seeing that they're closing. Was every bit as good as I remembered, and the wine/beer lists (which weren't as extensive the last time I ate there) really are impressive.

    Ridiculous number of great choices. Where else in the States do you get menus like this?

    Curious which menus prompted this. Speaking of, I forgot to mention Fritai, a Haitian restaurant that was on my list for a few reasons (one of which is that their fritay platter features sausage from Vaucresson's, a family-run sausage company and cafe that was closed during my winter trip).
