You don’t have to be a Prime Minister to dine at 10 Downing—we’re talking, of course, about Stephane Dorian’s fabulous restaurant in the West Village, not David Cameron’s current London address. As we sat in the ambient, butter-colored room filled with eclectic, whimsical artwork, we savored every moment of the wonderful evening courtesy of a well-curated menu from the first bracing cocktail to our lasting dessert. continue reading »

Perhaps we’re not quite 21 anymore, but 21 Club remains ageless. It is expensive to be sure, and although the $30 burger off the menu might be considered a little excessive, $30 also gets you a three-course prix fixe that is hard to beat. continue reading »

Unfettered, owner Tony Powe of the erstwhile bistro united with the folks at Alias on the Lower East Side. As we click our heels in delight, we may also hope that two more clicks will magically whisk us all the way across town in time for dinner or brunch! continue reading »

Chef Alain Allegretti deserves a humanitarian award of some sort. His alchemic culinary mastery drove us into spasms of delight complete with wringing our hands and rolling our eyes, leaving us with a desire to shower him with kisses in thanks for serving his illicit divinations summoned from regions of Italy and the southern part of France.
