Recently, CT & I celebrated our two year anniversary. As such we had to find a nice restaurant to celebrate the occasion. We have found that Jean Georges does a fine job with his various restaurants to celebrate a variety of occasions whether it be CT’s Birthday or even Restaurant Week. We have heard some good things about Perry St. and decided to check out this restaurant in the far, far West Village. Jean Georges’ son is actually the chef de cuisine of the restaurant. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree? The restaurant is located in [...]

After our fantastic meal the night before at Jean-Georges, we met up with CT’s family to continue the birthday celebration. This time we only went to a two Michelin starred restaurant, Marea. Yvo went a couple months back during her birthday celebration week, but back then it only had one star. 5 Michelin Stars in 24 hours, does that make us gluttons? CT says: No, it just makes us really lucky people! Marea also has a three course plus dessert prix fixe, but only for $89. Cheap compared to JG! CT’s Dad, TL, and I opted for the prix fixe. [...]

Well, it’s that time of year again, CT’s birthday! The only problem with that is trying to figure out where to go for dinner to celebrate. After some intense investigating, I decided Jean Georges would be the best bet. I had never been to a three Michelin starred restaurant before, so this was a great opportunity to celebrate all fancy-like. We ate at Nougatine aka the bar room outside JG last winter for restaurant week and had a great lunch. I figured now would be the time to enter “the inner sanctum.” CT says: Am I the luckiest girl, or [...]

I’m not that big on Valentine’s Day in general, especially the zoo that the restaurant industry becomes around that day. This year, it fell on a Sunday, and it disturbed me that a certain Batali restaurant had a special menu for that day which cost xx, but also offered the same ‘special’ menu on Friday and Saturday before Valentine’s Day… for half that price. I just think that’s rude! It was blatant and out there… not cool. (Admittedly, at least one other Batali restaurant had no special menu at all for Valentine’s Day, which boosted my opinion of that one [...]
