    Long weekend in NYC – Which of the high end places & Japanese?

    Posted · Edited by newbie21 (log)

    If you are interested in Japanese Ramen, perhaps for lunch, you MUST go to Ippudo. Hand made noodles, the only other place on earth that you'll find them is in Japan. The Shiromaru Hakata Classic with thin-sliced Berkshire pork and an egg, and a side of bakudan to spice it up quite simply changed my life. Order a beer and you're in for about $20. Can't go wrong, shouldn't be missed. Have a great time!!

    Yes Chef? No Chef!

    After a 14 year hiatus, I am back in the restaurant industry. I refer to the chef as 'Chef' in the kitchen and on the floor, and by her first name when off the clock. I have a great deal of respect for her and her profession, yet I also feel like she is a friend of mine, so I think it would be weird to refer to her as 'Chef' when we're having a drink together.

    Where to eat in Nashville?

    The Patterson House has excellent food, and the cocktails can't be missed! You really can eat well there, and there's a wide variety to choose from; not your typical bar food by a long shot, thanks to The Ryan Harris and Josh! City House is worth checking out, too.

    Good, reasonably priced places in Brooklyn

    The people who started this thread have long gone, but for those still following, I just went to Palo Santo and had an outstanding meal! We had 9+ courses and wine pairings for just over $100pp. The food was incredibly well done, very fresh, their spices often just picked from their rooftop garden. The homemade tortillas and the fish taco were a standout for me. I look forward to going back!

    This is probably a stupid question, but in case anyone knows anything: is there any reason to suppose TVH will be anything other than open on Memorial Day weekend? We're planning a trip from out of town, but TVH would be a big part of the weekend, so it would be pretty disappointing if it happened to be closed/private parties/anything like that.

    They haven't been closed on Memorial Day in the past, but I can't speak for any private parties that may have been scheduled. If you're coming in for the whole weekend, I think you'll be able to get in. Enjoy!!!

    I heard The Patterson House is now open for business.

    What was the opening day like?

    Hey Troy! It was really busy! Full house, small wait, lots and lots of cocktails and food out the door. Last night was smooth, not as busy, but the boys are amping up for a very busy next few nights. Phones are blowing up all around me with rezo requests. It's really so beautiful; when are you coming down?

    Kristen, as soon as possible. The place sounds fantastic. The pictures I saw online were amazing.

    And what's this I hear about a Bacon Bourbon Old Fashioned? Is it as good as it sounds?

    I am in a world of crap for not having tried it yet, right? I'm making my way through the list; it'll come. So far, Vincent's Ruin is topping my list.

    Are you guys open yet?  I'm in Nashville and thirsty.

    Yes!! Opening night was last night, and it's beautiful! I tried several of the cocktails:

    Juliet and Romeo (of course, fabulous!)

    Maisie Day

    Maloney Negroni Variation

    Spring Sazerac

    Cooper's Bright (the only one I didn't flip for; it tasted a bit heavy on the St Germaine to me)

    Blinker

    Sipped on Reelfoot Manhattan, Terra Rica, Pimm's Cup...yes, I was there for a lot's of hours!

    The food is amazing; last night I tried the Deviled Eggs, Meatloaf Sliders, Fig and Procsuitto Flatbread (YUM!). Can't wait for more later tonight!

    Here are some first remarks:
