Sneakeater Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This is interesting to me, as I always thought that, even in Park Slope, Pecking House was too expensive for what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diancecht Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 i’m not really curious about this except to wonder at how the mighty have fallen. and…i just adore agedashi tofu…but i don’t know anyone who would be into an agedashi hot dog. ———- Mr. Humm said he was “ecstatic” with the results. “The one thing we said we wanted it to be is a place of joy, of people coming together,” said Mr. Humm, who gave the artist no other parameters. The chef likes that people will read different meanings in the paintings as they enjoy inventive cocktails, such as “5th Leaf” with Suyo quebranta pisco, smoked sunchoke, pear and shiso, and plant-based versions of finger food including tempura fries, sake pickles and an agedashi tofu dog. click 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 A place of joy and people coming together as long as they are people who will spend eye-watering amounts of money on plants and booze.

Wilfrid Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 This made me think. I no longer eat out two or three times a week. Since the occasions are fewer (and I long since stopped blogging) I tend to go back to places I know I like. And because I always post, they get discussed here a lot. Le Veau d’Or was different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Bonner Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) eater had an advertorial for fall openings early this week. I think there was one place on the list where I was like "I would try that" without even the curve of "oh - I live in the suburbs" it was shocking. Also I think its entertaining reading the Reddit FoodNYC and seeing a few people get to the emperor's new clothes stage with some of the favorites there.

Wilfrid Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 I see openings I would like to try, but I am not going to battle for a reservation or eat at 4.30 or 11. The miracle one-top at Le Veau d’Or was totally unforeseen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
