Bon Appetit

NYC is known for many things: fabulous shows, great restaurants, beautiful people and crazy nightlife (among many other things). Conveniently enough, T has family in Connecticut, just a short train ride to NYC. We spent a beautiful, sunny weekend in NYC. We saw Avenue Q Off-Broadway, ate dinner at a fantastic French restaurant called DBGB, and spent time with friends in the city. All in all, it was a relaxing weekend filled with some great people we hadn't seen in awhile.

DBGB was famous for its burgers, but after eating there, I'd say that people should definitely be talking about their desserts. yum.

T and I shared a delicious romaine salad with avocado, red pepper, carrot grapefruit & ginger-sesame dressing.

For my main course, I had the escalope of chatham cod with grilled artichokes & fennel, ramps, arugula crispy chickpea panisse, sauce vierge. Simple and perfect.
T had the ranch pork loin schnitzel with capers, cornichons, hazelnuts & french ham, asparagus
chanterelles and a sunnyside egg.
For dessert, we shared Baked Alaska (which the chef lit on fire at the table - awesome).
Pistachio lemon sundae, warm lemon bread pudding heaven...
 Mint and chocolate ice cream sandwhich with homemade fudge sauce.
And we left feeling incredibly full. Mind you, this restaurant also had about 30 different beers on tap and an incredible wine list. Yes, we will be coming back.
