On Banning Photography from Restaurants

When I ate there a few weeks ago, we were talking to one of the chefs about this exact issue. His complaint didn't stem from flashes or disturbances; but rather how it was ruining their ability to constantly change the menu. Because Ko has been so blogged about, after finally snagging a reservation, diners want the meal they read about. I think that this new ban, fair or not, stems from the chefs desire to create something new, much more often.

So many great desserts to choose from! I'm going to have to go with something simple - the olive oil gelato from Otto. In close second is the toasted coconut cake at wd-50. Third place goes to pretty much anything Alex Stupak concocts. No place goes to anything from Magnolia. There are FAR better desserts than that not only in NYC, but pretty much anywhere else in the world!
