NYC – 12/28/17 – Ferris

Posted in New York by

It is fantastic to see more cool places move into the Nomad area of NYC.  Ferris makes the best of below street level location and overdelivers for its modest setting.  A definite must visit.

chips & dip – chicharrones, chicken liver mousse

blood sausage – grilled dates, toasted seeds

(I discovered I am missing a page of the menu and consequently descriptions for a few courses.)

octopus – egg custard, confit potato, pedro ximinez

beets – black sesame tahini, young coconut


carrot agnolotti – lamb neck, pickled squash

NYC – 6/24/16 – Nomad Bar & Tuome

Nomad Bar

It wouldn’t be my birthday month without at least one Humm dog would it?

Tuome 
Very happy to put Tuome back on my radar after too many months.  The dishes that I have had before (Egg and Pig Out) are still outstanding and the watermelon salad had me at farro.

Egg – deviled, crispy, chili

Watermelon – ricotta, farro, chrysanthemum

Tartare – wagu beef, three hour yolk, lemongrass

Snow crab – noodle, summer squash, dashi butter

Pig Out – berkshire pork, spicy peanut noodle

And of course another birthday dessert

NYC – 3/25/25 – La Pecora Bianca

Posted in New York by

The service at La Pecora Bianca has come a very long way since opening.  I’m very glad that I gave it another try and I can see this ending up in my regular rotation following workouts in the neighborhood.  I absolutely loved the Cortina cocktail and the bartender was lovely enough to provide me with the recipe.  I have already made it several times at home.

Cortina – Greylock gin, lime, maraschino, fernet branca

Fluke crudo – oro blanco citrus, radish, pink peppercorn

Farro insalate – apple, arugula, goat cheese, pomegranate, pistachio, pickled onions

Cheese

NYC – 8/4/15 – La Pecora Bianca

I love having another great dining option in a neighborhood that I find myself in most days of the week and often quite hungry following a workout. A very wise friend of mine cautioned me against visiting new restaurants too soon after opening and I probably should have listened. Service was completely confused and at one point I almost left. To be fair this was day 2 so I forgive and shouldn’t even mention the service issues as they are probably ironed out by now. The salads were exactly what I was looking for on a hot evening. And a fantastic idea with the small bites that everybody receives to start. I definitely see many return visits in my future.
 
Formaggi and Salumi Pomodori – Garden peach tomatoes, pickled shallots, basil Verdure Verdi – Sugar snap, snow, and green peas, fava beans, asparagus, pecorino   

NYC – 2/13/15 – the Nomad Bar

This really needs to be my last post about the Nomad Bar or it is going to overtake this blog.  It wasn’t planned for the evening but I had a burger craving all day and after working out found myself only 2 blocks away.  How could I not go??  Its somewhat miserable to battle the weekend crowds but totally worth it as always!

Hair Trigger – venezuelan rum, fernet branca, ginger, lime, cucumber

Brussels sprouts – roasted with smoked lentil & parmesan

Burger – dry aged with cheddar, red onion & pickles

Mott & Mulberry – rye whiskey, luxardo amaro abano, apple cider, lemon

Of course back at the Nomad bar yet agai!. I may be becoming predictable in NYC. Fantastic as always and for once I exhibited some self control and didn’t have the hot dog for dessert.
