In New York at the 98th dinner party by The Headwear Association at the Tavern on the Green of Central Park I was eager to try the restaurant I saw a few months ago at the NY Times. My favorite vegetarian dish in the past 16 years (James Rachel 's 1990 book "Born of animals: the moral implication of Darwinism" contained this decision), I will be arriving at vegetarian fine dining someday I was waiting. So on the evening of St. Patrick's Day, the next day of the Association's dinner (good event, but at best a meal in G's T), I left for East Village and Family Court. I was not disappointed. When entering most vegetarian restaurants, almost always palpable is the faithfulness of the staff 's work. It feels good to be a business that people who work there have passion for what they are doing. For vegetarian restaurants, for most staff, they are philosophical conviction that they are doing the right thing. * With Heirloom, you can meet with the same wave length as hip, attractive, elegant hostess, waiting person, bar bidder (There are some sexy things about this, but regrettably I Age sufficient to be the father of the people of). They may be cut from the same cloth as jeans and T shirt people encountered at most vegetable joints, but here they are dressing up. That is fun. It is sophisticated, the decoration is cool, it's all going well. Also important statements - vegetarianism ** are not mutually exclusive with fine restaurants.
Food: I am divided by a good view of the bar and the entrance - I am catching a scene - I am satisfied. Wine's menu is interesting, but California is not outstanding as Oregon's great Pinot Noir. I do not know what this is (I suspect that another example of suspicious New York shunned California favorably to Europe, giving the benefit of its doubt and demonstrating their wiser superiority I do not want to). The two kinds of red (glasses) I ordered were good. The menu is simple - a good idea - it is divided into "first course" and "second course". This is very effective because you can eat everything on the menu so you do not need many options. In most restaurants, vegetarians usually remove more than a quarter of the menu from the gate. So, seriously after considering "Apple Selic Compport 's Truffle Portobello Clostini: Balsamic Vinegar Weight Loss, Truffle Cortini, Lavender Honey", I said "Sweet Potatoes: Meyer · Lemon · Form, Green & Horseradish · With the oil "I point out that both my waitress and the server should thoroughly mix various parts of this dish before eating." Wow! This is a really wonderful idea. You are warm and cool, crispy and soft, hot and spicy, dry, dry and harmonious with a lot of wonderful tastes, this was the big winner of the night.I am choosing "second course" I had a hard time. I intended to go to the NT Times reviewer 's favorite, but it was no longer in the menu. I have decided on something rare (at least for me), "Smoke Hominy's Anson Mills Cream Grits: Abacardo, Cusco · Fresco, Roast · Tomato · Pobrano · Salsa". I think this downtown, Central American cuisine is just a weekend theme ticket. Please do not accept New York as a state-of-the-art Mecca just by fame. I could not keep up with the excellent opening act. After several alcoholic drinks, I began to appreciate simple easy comfort foods. However, desserts almost measured appetizers - "Black Cocoa Cake, Chocolate - Bourbon Glaze: Filling Sweet Chestnut and Espresso Ice Cream". (As in most other countries) I consider myself an authority of chocolate - this was a wonderful thing. And the big surprise was that Chef De Cuisine himself, Amanda Cohen served me. After a polite question about food, she said that I noticed that I was carrying a review of the Times. Considering the fact that I folded this article firmly in the palm of the hand and I was reading it very carefully, Mr. Cohen's view was truly impressed. And it says something about family chicken - people are paying attention to their diners. As myself a merchant, it actually says everything.
On Saturday afternoon I talked to Brooklyn 's R train and definitely came with Tom Tomay, one of the finest California hat manager in the 1980' s. Here, when he ran a village hut shop at the new Horton Plaza, he was now a pioneer of the full-blown downtown San Diego Renaissance. He worked at a hat store and after years passed, I regularly asked the customer. After a long stay in Russia and its surroundings, he settled in the Brooklyn Park Slope section and is following his passion for art - http://www.tcatdesigns.com. We took a long walk in his neighborhood and landed very much at Al Di La Restaurant. And that was a good landing! In this restaurant, everything from the top of the weekend, such as the best entry, truffle, Ricotta Ravioli, was all the best.
Briefly: Because of the expensive branch of Carnegie Deli, you may be insulted by the old school waitresses of the fuss without putting extra expense. Duke of Broadway in Midtown makes sandwiches (hot or cold) highlighted by bread.
The winners are as follows.
Heirloom - Located on Orchard Street near Houston, East Village.
It is at the corner of Al Di La - 5th Avenue and Carrol in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
* In the afternoon, at the Museum of Modern Art, MOMA lecturer insisted that contemporary "art" is not beautiful, does not need to be skillfully executed, and does not need to be concrete. There is nothing important but "idea" and all the ideas are fair game with cannon and no rules today. She insisted on a kind of relativism, where not all the ideas were equal, nothing was important except when the art was "funny". She used an example of an "artist" who shot himself with her feet and left himself up to Volkswagen as possibly enjoying the merit of art. As a lecturer, she refused to make judgments about so-called art work (or anything about it). After all, it was a super academic bargaining. I believed that this state that Patrick's parade organizer refused to march gays and lesbians is indeed local indeed like some argument. [But Heirloom, where something mattered, saved the day for Manhattan.]
** My philosophy professor's friend (and the native New Yorker) argues that not eating animals is actually a fairly conservative philosophy. For those who are still working on this question, please ask if your cousin should suffer as your food. And we recognize that all animals differ only by some degree of difference.
*** Meet for Editor Diane Feen, editor of HAT LIFE Directory held every year at Bergdorf-Goodman in New York's department store temple, and HAT LIFE Newsletter for 2 months, and have lunch with male and female visiting hat department. The price of the hat was so expensive that the "lunch special" Fushiri I ordered was runny and tasteless (I think they opened the can of the tomato sauce and poured it into poor draining pasta - No joke) - This is the worst meal I can remember Eating in the restaurant in a long time ($ 18!). And regardless of where you saw, the woman was wearing a full-length fur coat (okay with MOMA, but I will be fine to throw a gallon of blood on these ignorances) . What are these pathetic people thinking? This can never happen in California.
