Great photos! I was at the earlier dinner, and it was wonderful!
I had the yummy duck ramen at Ma Peche today.
My favorite chopped liver is at Sarge's (perfect mix of chicken liver, sauteed onions and hard-boiled egg). While I adore most things at Russ & Daughters, I'm not a fan of their chopped liver.
Cannot add to your query about why Jews love Chinese food, but I love all Asian food!
Wonderful report!
I love the Orange Julius! I've had it a several times, and it's delicious!
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.
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.
You forgot Ma Peche.
I love ChikaLicious Dessert Club's premium caramel and red velvet cupcakes. Perfect sized cupcakes.
I like Marseille (44 St. & 9th Ave.) for French brasserie food.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
This sounds like a great challenge for the Serioous Eats staff (can I volunteer?).
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.
Great photos! I dined at Seasonal last year, and was very impressed.
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.
Just had the Fried Chicken, and it lives up to all the hype!
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.
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.
I've been to Ma Peche 4 times (both lunch and dinner) in the past 2 months. I've loved the fried cauliflower and fish sauce, the squid salad, the pork ribs, scallops, steak frites with the yummy rice fries. corn with lardo. Service has made great improvements; now it's perfect! More crowded at lunch. Early dinner is almost serene. Love having Milk Bar on the way out to pick up dessert. Crack pie slice was twice the usual size.
I haven't been to Momofuku Ko for dinner since November. Has anyone been there recently? Do you recall your menu? Thanks for your help.
I had dinner at the "new" Aureole last night. I call it "new" since they have a new chef--Chris Lee (formerly from Gilt). Food is exceptionally creative and delicious! I started dinner with a poached egg, grits, porcini mushrooms and prociutto di Parma--excellent (and I never wanted to try grits before). Main course was a venison tenderloin with pomegranate, dark chocolate sauce, macadamia nuts and sweet potato puree--yummy! Dessert was the lemon chiffon with citrus fruit and frozen sheep's milk yogurt--perfect way to end a spectacular dinner. Service remains flawless.
Momofuku Ko turned five this year, and to celebrate David Chang and his crew brought back some of the classic dishes from years gone by for a limited two night engagement. The ten course menu featured classic dishes from the restaurant's history. More

Agree that the Kouign Amann is excellent at Macaron Parlour. Never had the DKA since it was already sold out when I stopped by Dominique Ansel.
