Gramercy Tavern Experience 1/14/2012

Our first Michelin star rated restaurant: Gramercy Tavern
10-course seasonal tasting menu.  Executive chef: Michael Anthony
Last night (date night) at Gramercy Tavern was exquisite - our palates experiencing a roller coaster ride of tastes!  Our favorite savory dishes were the halibut and duck dumplings, the desserts were plentiful  1)  pear, chocolate mousse with pistachio ice cream 2) coconut mousse with star fruit and mango sorbet 3) gingerbread truffles with cinnamon sweetened sesame seeds, 4) pettifores of 3 flavors

During our 3 hour dinner, we randomly sat next to a friend’s co-worker unbeknownst to us….I overheard a conversation that described someone I knew (and hung out with last weekend) and told Jon about this.  He then put together the connection, as he had met the guy a few years ago in Durham.  You never know who knows who wherever you go in NYC.

Thank you Lauren and Cody for a thoughtful Christmas gift card here – it was the perfect excuse to check out this raved-about restaurant J
