New York Foodies' Saturday Night...

[Miami Danny]

On a recent whirlwind tour of New York (mother, cousins, The Laurie Beechman Theater-don't ask), I had the opportunity to have lunch at Momofuku Noodle Bar, where the manager asked us to come next door to the then-unopened Momofuku Ko to take pictures for Gourmet.com, and where we ate the Fried Veal Sweetbreads, which are like 'Popcorn' Shrimp; dinner at Soba Totto, where I chatted with a slightly inebriated chef from another restaurant in their chain, got some lowdown, and ate Kobe Beef Tongue; 'solid' drinks at Tailor, where Sam Mason was politely introducing himself around (and where eGullet stars were recovering from a celebrity chef 'Offal' dinner); and another lunch at unassuming but solid Noodle Village (Fish Cake End Cut Noodle Soup).

Drinkswise, PDT was a Monday night to remember, with Don starting me with a deconstucted Rum & Coke that contained no coke. Actually, much of what I remember is somewhat hazy, even the 'Chang' Dog. But the best food/drinks experience was Saturday Night, at Market Dinner. Where's that, you say? This particular night, in Brooklyn, truth be told.

I also post some video showing the preparation of the Four-Hour Braised Boneless Shortribs, as well as some photos of all the courses, at New York-Miami Foodie Craziness... If you can, start your own. I hear it's crazy out there on Saturday nights...
