Good Eats
Friday, July 3rd, 2009Last week, after a few meetings in NYC with Fran Gallagher, we met up with Alex Young at the recently re-opened The Plaza Hotel. I had never been in The Plaza before, but I had heard stories — who hasn’t? To be honest, most of what I knew about The Plaza came from watching Home Alone 2 — Lost in New York as a kid and, more recently, Bride Wars. Needless to say, I was eager to experience the legendary hotel firsthand.
After a glass of wine at the Oak Bar, we enjoyed a fabulous dinner in the Oak Room. My halibut and snow peas were delicious; and the room is really beautiful, with fantastic, intricate and ornate detailing. I must admit, I felt pretty highfalutin’!
July 12-31 is Restaurant Week in New York City, and my friend is urging me to meet her in the city for dinner at Union Square Cafe. It is always fun to discover great new restaurants in New York, especially during the fixed-price Restaurant Week special. Nothing like a first-rate meal at a budget-friendly price.
But, for now, my sights are set on hamburgers, hot dogs and the other food planned for tomorrow’s Independence Day picnic. Enjoy the Fourth of July!
