Thanks for believing in our little ones' taste buds! We really enjoyed the new kids' menu and we hope it will be available beyond January.

Although the map shows Fleishers' in Kingston this post is really about the towns across the river. Kingston et al should be the subject of another left bank-oriented column. But thanks for all the great tips!

There is a lot of appetizing choices at Blossom, it's not so easy to order! Thanks for the tip.
(and what other vegan places are fabulous?)

Thanks for all the suggestions, husband here doesn't do eggs, so it becomes complicated.... but I think I might try the rajas con crema or cheese. And I will look up the casserole!

thanks, thanks! I think I am going to go with pasta and some leeks, some cream -- which is what I have available here tonight... I hope it's not a waste of a good leek! I appreciate all the suggestions and yes, I have a cat, but she is finicky....

@gutreactions we had a lovely meal at New Leaf and if some of the details were not quite perfect, they did not detract much from the overall experience. And indeed, while the manicotti was not successful with any of us, everything else was great. The salmon was cooked beyond what I asked, which was medium rare, but that's it.

I like New Leaf both for dinner and brunch and I am always impressed by their food, setting and service. Brunch is really good if you can manage the wait.

We've known and loved Scott Campbell since SQC. He was not in the day we went.

JT rules! And you can get Frozen Hot Chocolate too.

I'm making mexican wedding cookies -- I think they look christmas-y -- and chocolate truffles to give away in "goodie bags" after my xmas party tomorrow.

Churrascaria Plataforma in NY

hi everyone, it's just a little japanese curry party, not a beer party. @Embackus i think about 10 people. I don't know anything about kegs, but I guess I should have done a little more research in advance of posting here...

taboulleh and/or chimichurri, yes.
