What a great post!! i love the comic book theme!!
A work of art! Love it.
Definitely want to check this place out soon.
Your parents visit often, huh? I’m just jealous cuz my folks live overseas. :(
Ditto that! I love it!! Those scallops look amazing.
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 love your little BDs.
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!
So Stan Lee–love the format!
HAHAHA !! Loved this. Awesome post.
Hahaha. I love this post! Little Mermaid was one of my favs.
What a fun post! Loved the graphics and poor littel ariel at the end!
I love Mickey seconding Walt’s threat.
I’m sure it was delicious, but that John Dory is looking a little funky! The place looks so great…camp, but perfectly so.
I read about this restaurant some weeks back in the NY Times, the food looks incredible! And the post? Brilliant!
Adam, I just love it when you do the comic book stuff. Too funny!
Brilliant post. Your picture skills have improved and the pics look awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Always entertaining.
Love this.
I wish all restaurant reviews were like this.
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!
This is so well done! So impressive! Thank you.
Yay comic book posts. Did you really have to ferment Ariel?!!
Loved this comic post! I’ve enjoyed the ones in the past too.
Love the fish tank also. Coolness.
hey I just went to the John Dory last weekend too! I have to agree that it was kickass–I’ve recounted my similarly enjoyable experince on my blog, http://getinmebelly.wordpress.com.
Brilliant post.. really good stuff!
Loving the comics! :-)
