Going public

As evidenced by this blog, NYers are not home-bodies. We go out. A lot. However, it's easy to get into a rut and go to the same places again & again when there are countless amazing restaurants in the City. So Robyn started a dinner club, with the point being to try a new restaurant once a month. Maiden voyage was Wed. night.

We got things started at Vin Noir, a relatively new wine bar in Nolita (we know one of the owners/investors). Then dinner at Public. Had Duck and foie gras empanadas and cured wild boar to start. My main course was Tandoori prawn with ginger braised Napa cabbage, Asian pear and Punjabi cashew sauce. And we had sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Food was great. Really nice flavors and textures. And the restaurant itself is very well-designed.
