  1. I don't doubt that there are folks who know exactly what they are looking for when foraging for mushrooms but I would not suggest anyone who hasn't spent ample amounts of time learning about the various types of mushrooms that grow in this area, what's good to eat what's not attempt to forage on their own. I know of an entire family except on boy who died in VT when they ate the mushrooms they foraged. Nothing to mess around with.

  2. Welcome Fred.

    Zola hasn't gotten a lot of love here, but mainly due to service issues. DOn't know if anyone has any more recent reports.

    Thanks JPW-

    A friend made reservations for Zola based on a great meal she had there a week ago. Soooo I'm going NYE and so I'll just raid the cellar and pull a bunch of wine/champagne for dinner so should we run into slow service we will never see an empty glass.

    Cheers

  3. Morning everyone. I've lurked around egullet for a while and thought ahhh what the hell I'll throw my hat in the ring and post a bit. So below are the details for Zola's NYE pre-fix menu. Not sure how much love there is for Zola on this board but a friend sent this to me and as my first order of business here on egullet I pass it along to you. Cheers all and I look forward to many gastronomic discussions in the future.
