Mom's Weekend

Have to admit January was really hard. Think coming home and seeing everyone made me really miss home. That sadness lasted a while. Luckily, Feb was packed with fun! First, the Giant's win, next my mom came for a fun weekend. We hit it hard the entire time. Still fun to venture out and see new things!!

First night-Dovetail (http://dovetailnyc.com). One of Adam Platt's tops. On the upper west (rarely head that way), great to soak up new parts of the city. Love a restaurant with courses between your ordered course, love a little attention to detail and love when the food looks as good as it tastes. This place meets the Platt standards!

 Grapefruit yogurt-filler before courses

 Cheesebread

brussels sprouts leaves, pears, manchego cheese, mangalica ham, pine nuts

dungeness crab, mango, black garlic, daikon

turnip ceviche, quinoa, habañero, sweet potato

consommé, winter bouquet, mint, truffles

aged sirloin, beef cheek lasagna, mushrooms

maine sea scallop & lobster, verjus, celery root, scallions

bittersweet chocolate soufflé, earl grey ice cream

Hope these pics (real-i took them that night) entice you! Perfect way to start a perfect weekend.
