    Haha, that’s hilarious. Ariel is HUGE right now at the daycare I teach at, as somehow I ended up with a class of all girls.

    Was the bread really better than that uni toast? Because I would kill for that.

    Great post – food looks phenomenal and I’m always a sucker for the comic book approach… Also, a good Willy Wonka reference is a winner every time! Cheers AG.

    By the way, I know that beer and wine are not at the very tippy-top of your list, but have you ever considered doing a post on a wine tasting or a beer tasting or something like that? Just a thought…

    This post totally cracked me up – my favorite was the threatening Walt Disney. I’m still laughing.

    Great stuff.

    Phoo-D

    Ahh! Ariel, Walt Disney AND Willy Wonka? Genius, Adam, pure Genius. Also, toast head took me over the top.

    I feel the need to comment to tell you this. I have been reading your blog for about two months, and your blog alone has made me want to go to New York, this post in particular. I live in Pittsburgh, and while there are a lot of great restaurants, I am really big on restaurants like those you have showcased recently.

    Considering nothing else has drawn me to want to visit New York, I just wanted to thank you for opening up the interest to me, because otherwise, I would have never thought it was worth visiting – aside from the museums, which I would probably not make a trip alone for.

    Thank you!

    I’m sure it was delicious, but that John Dory is looking a little funky! The place looks so great…camp, but perfectly so.

    Oh gosh! Fermented mermaid! My eyes, my eyes!

    The meal does look awesome, especially those scallops with pomegranate seeds. I love seafood so I’ll have to add The John Dory to my list of restaurants to try!
