Gourmet feeds the vague consensus that 2006 is the Year of the tail with a nicely written piece on mixed drinks that put fresh ingredients first.

I know I should be quiet about this but I’m sure the cat’s already out of the bag. I suspect a lot of ya’all will be heading out to One Table today as part of Luminato in the Distillery District. I, for one, am...

I enjoyed it. The ambiance was very cool and our waiter was a sweetheart. We ordered 5 dishes + 1 dessert for 3 people, which was fine. Everything was very good with the exception of the lamb chops. We had a hangar steak...

Fountain De Mars and Petit Troquet are good bets I agree. Au Bon Acceuil is another nice place and you can stroll to the Eiffel Tower after dinner weather permitting. Maybe take the Metro one way and walk one way, cause I would...

My wife and I will be in Cleveland for a conference between 10/1 and 10/4. Our only “for sure” free night is Wednesday, 10/1. We’ll be staying at the Renaissance Cleveland downtown, and will have one guest with...

You might consider having lunch before, or at least a hearty breakfast. You will leave Hangar One spinning otherwise—they’re quite generous with their pours.

Second visit to Opus the other night...and quite frankly if you like food and have not been to this place you are REALLY MISTAKEN Egg yolk in shell with bacon and cream — A+ Sweet Pea cold soup in shot glass — A+ and...

little restaurants that aren’t too expensive? Also has anyone been to Petit zinc lately or one of my old favorites Trou Milou on the quai near Metro St Paul? If I don’t respond to your suggestions it will be because I...

A friend of mine who is a chef on the west coast will be in town for one night this weekend. I don’t know Brooklyn at all. I need some rec’s for the Park Slope, Smith Street, etc... scene. Something with solid food...

I received an email from Eight One informing me that I won a free meal (for four) this Friday 2/20/09 to try their new fixed menu (2 courses would regularly be 30 dollars). I was wondering what people thought about this offer. Is...

OK, off to the City of Lights for 10 days in early September. What’s the one restaurant I can’t miss, regardless of price???

Just had an excellent meal at One. There are two dining rooms, high ceilings (old factory building), good buzz in the room. We had no trouble getting in at 7pm on Wednesday night. The Egg/lobster/caviar appetizer and scallop...

I am going to be in Paris (flying solo) on Tuesday for one day, and I’m trying to figure out where to go and what to eat! I’m staying on the border of the 10th and 3rd, right near Republique. I’ve been to Paris...

Sometimes one has to plan to climb the Mount Everest of dining. In Northern California Thomas Keller and the French Laundry would be considered by most to be the peak (both in food and difficulty in getting a table)... I also...

Oh, BTW, since you’re a vodka fan too. AJ’s has Oliphant vodka – highly recommend at around $15 a bottle. To give you an idea, my husand is a Grey Goose/Ketel/Ultimat fan. I agree, but tend to order Zyr, Stoli...
