Serious Grape: Our Search for the Best Riesling

I LOVE German Rieslings, and find they pair perfectly with all types of food. So glad that Momofuku Ssam Bar had a Summer of Riesling dinner this year! I think EMP has the most extensive collection of Rieslings.

Ladurée Now Open on Manhattan's Upper East Side

I went twice last week to Laduree. First, on Tuesday when the wait time was only 45 minutes. Second visit was Friday afternoon, when the wait time was 2 hours (credit card machine wasn't working and only one cash register). Both times the macarons were great! My favorites: caramel; lemon; coffee; vanilla; and (surprisingly) rose petal. Will wait a few weeks in hope that the wait time becomes more reasonable (no longer than 20 minutes). Want to do a taste test with my other favorite macaron, Bisous Ciao.

What's Your Favorite Cupcake Shop In New York?

I love ChikaLicious Dessert Club's premium caramel and red velvet cupcakes. Perfect sized cupcakes.

Where to Eat - Near 44th (between 7th and 8th)

I like Marseille (44 St. & 9th Ave.) for French brasserie food.

The Art of the Lunch Deal: Aureole

What a shame. Aureole used to be among my most favorite restaurants when they were at their townhouse on E. 61 St. I haven't been to their new location; sounds like I don't need to.

Riverpark: Tom Colicchio Presents Sisha Ortuzar

I've had dinner twice at Riverpark, and loved both times. Food is delicious (especially the cavatelli and lamb, duck, and rack of lamb). Agree that the beignets are yummy, as is the malt ice cream. Service is very friendly and professional. Views are gorgeous, and the outdoor tables will be among the most sought-after tables in all of Manhattan when the weather warms up again.

Artisanal's Pumpkin Gnocchi was seasonally delicious!

I agree about the "yummy" factor of the Artisanal Pumpkin Gnocchi. Was there for brunch this past weekend and ordered it, and it was wonderfu! Hope they keep this on the menu for a long time.

Sugar Rush: After-Dessert Desserts at Per Se

Do you know if you order dinner in the Salon (from the Salon menu) whether you would receive the same selection of mignardises? Definitely might be worth having dinner in the Salon.

Mixed Review: Manischewitz's Honey Cake

I recently bought honey cakes from Russ & Daughters and Sarge's, and both were great! Great flavor and texture, with a slight edge to Sarge's.

Sugar Rush: Tiramisu at Veloce Pizzeria and Motorino

This sounds like a great challenge for the Serioous Eats staff (can I volunteer?).

Ma Peche is a great addition to Midtown

My post about Ma Peche belongs on any foodie website that is serious about excellent food. Sorry you don't seem to understand the concept.

The Art of the Lunch Deal: Bouley

Thanks for the Bouley article. Bouley has long been one of my favorite restaurants. The beautiful photos remind me that I need to make a return visit soon.

Momofuku Noodle Bar's Fried Chicken Dinner

Just had the Fried Chicken, and it lives up to all the hype!

Eleven Madison Park

I had a sensational Gourmand (11 courses) dinner three weeks ago. I've always liked the regular menu, but after the Gourmand menu, it'll be hard to only have 3 courses. I do want to try again the duck for 2. EMP is now having the duck (and the guinea fowl) carved tableside. Quite an impressive show! Service is top notch and friendly. Nothing stuffy at all about EMP.

Ko

I posted last week asking about the current menu, and people were nice enough to post the dinner menu. I had dinner last week, and it was wonderful! There's nothing weird about the food. There may be things you may not have tried before, but it's all delicious. I hope you enjoy yourself, and please post about your meal.

Same menu as talida. One word to describe the meal: "yummy!". My favorites: biscuit, fluke, egg, pork belly in kimchee consome, foie gras, sorloin, guava sorbet and funnel cake. Staff was very attentive and warm. Overall superb experience.

Any recent dinner visits to Momofuku Ko?

Thanks Kathryn! As you may know I frequent the CH and EG sites. I wanted to check with my friends here at SE as to whether anyone has had a more recent experience since the courses at Ko change fairly frequently (as you can see from the CH postings). I'm going next week.
