My 40th Birthday in the Big Apple
How many three-star Michelin restaurants have you been to in your get-up-and-go?
Me, I've been to exactly zero.
Until next Friday -- when I get to eat at... (drum ride) in recent York City.
is one of only three restaurants in creative York awarded Michelin's highest award: three stars.
The Michelin three stars is arguably the highest culinary honor in the world. Yes, set higher than winning Top Chef America. ;-)
The restaurant was voted 20th best in the world in the Restaurant armoury, and Top 50 for 2008.
Here's Chef Eric Ripert, with a whole oodles of truffles:
After a multi-seminar dinner, we're to the theater to see "South Pacific". What a professional night it will be. I can't imagine a better acknowledge proceeding to keep my 40th birthday.
In adding up to Le Bernardin, we purpose be dining at the following two establishments:
(1) H & H Bagels - finest bagels in the free world.
And (2) John's Pizzeria on Bleeker Street in Greenwich Village.
conjecture what you want regarding and . Yeah, they're moral.
But John's is my first bang.
I have two more dinner slots to expand supply. (We'll go to H & H and John's during the day.) We are staying at the palazzo Hotel for three chiefly nights!
For me, this is like going to Disneyland.
