A Spring Evening at Osteria Morini
One of our all-time favorite Italian restaurants in NYC is Michael White’s Osteria Morini. Osteria Morini is as close as you will get to Emilia-Romagna without getting on a plane. Chef de Cuisine, Asi Maman, invited us to sample a few of the new spring menu items that were inspired by his recent trip to Italy and there was also a mention of a 120-day dry-aged ribeye that we were told would “blow our minds”. Who could pass up an offer like that?

Blue Hill NYC
Friends, the game has been changed for us. Blue Hill NYC has completely opened our eyes to what farm-to-table is supposed to be. For chef and owner, Dan Barber, this is not a trend or a fad, it’s a way of life. It is difficult to put into words just how spectacular every element of Blue Hill is. When you are eating produce that was pulled from the ground just a few hours ago, eggs that were collected that morning and beef, poultry and pork that was raised with respect using artisanal techniques; the result is life changing. This will go down as one of the top-ten best meals of all time.
