    66

    Went to 66 on Friday night. I would generally concur with Aaron's assessment. I was able to obtain a table for 3 at 10pm with a phone call at 8pm, although the restaurant was full when I got therre. One of the decor/layout items that I did not like was that without a bar there is nowhere to get a drink and be out of the way while you are waiting for other members of your party to arrive, particularly if the lounge area is full - as it was on Saturday. We sampled a variety of dishes most of which I thought were good to very good. I thought that the beef short ribs stood out and that the scallion pancakes were the weakest of all items we sampled. I was also a big fan of the Passion Fruit/Banana sorbet (which was one of the three sorbets in the sorbet selection). I thought the service was good, although a little slow at times. I thought the decor was very good to excellent, but then I like the modernist/minimalist schrager, starck, meier type design - I especially liked the way the room has been sectioned off so that it feels like you are in your own little dining area with a small group of other tables. The Spoon+ vibe is spot on Aaron, I ate at Spoon+ about three weeks ago so I thought it was interesting that you made that same comparison. I don't know how often I will go back - one of the problems with NYC - too many restaurants, too little time but I would recommend it to others as a fun place to eat with a midsize group.
  2. The New York Times Sunday Magazine
  3. I haven't seen bananas mentioned yet - which to my recollection are the largest fruit crop (at least in dollar volume) - wonder why? As for me...cherries and mangosteen
  4. Has anyone been to Blue 9 which was also mentioned in the article? Do the burgers there compare favorably to the In 'n' Out chain in California? I have a friend visiting from England who is addicted to In 'n' Out burgers and may enjoy Blue 9 for lunch if it is similar.
  5. Which if I am not mistaken (which is entirely possible, if not likely) is a type of fish or preparation of fish and further adds to one's confusion.
  6. As a Londoner living in NY for the past 4 years I have to agree with Plotnicki as well. NY has definitely lost the edge it had over London in terms of the general vibe and sense of life in the city, this seems especially true living in SoHo which has definitely lost a lot over the past few years
