Just returned from vacation with my husband in New York City. Hubby and I are not big adventurers and we plan our trips based on where we want to stay, and where we want to eat. Our latest trip was no exception – many indulgences including dinner at:

Per Se : expensive yes (ridiculously so), worth it, um…probably once to say you went…met the expectation – absolutely. What I WOULD do next time, and this is a great option that is wayyy more affordable – sit in the “salon” you can still eat less than the normal 9 courses and experience the same ambiance.

at Per Se

LUPA - Mario Batali’s spot, casual Italian, super busy (one woman was told it would be an hour and a half wait and was like “ok!” ) reasonably priced and delicious! For dessert, the  Marscapone with Spicy Dates were amazing.

Joel Robuchon L\’Atelier- located in the Four Seasons, Brad and I went there before hopping on the red eye back home. We sat at the counter and enjoyed watching our food being prepared with such care and looking so beautiful I had to include some pics – highly recommend!

Spaghetti with Morels, Asparagas and a soft Poached Egg

View from the Counter!

Heirloom Tomato w/pasta - Amazing Work of Art!

Quality Meats - if you didn’t know it was a top restaurant, you’d walk by it - from the outside you’d think it was a deli that was closing for good – but upon entering, you know you are in for a special experience -go hungry -portions are huge and no question, you need to LOVE meat.

Just a few spots we experienced!

Until we Eat Again
