We have another birthday girl on our hands! Yesterday my cousin Melissa came to the city for the day to finally celebrate her birthday at Gotham Bar & Grill. Gotham Bar & Grill is one of the best restaurants in the city and practically across the street from my office, so I was more than happy to tag along.
Melissa, her friend Angela, and I ordered off the prix fixe lunch menu and we were not disappointed. My selections were:
butternut squash soup
Papparadelle with veal (amazing)
and, of course, chocolate cake!
Their chocolate cake is probably my favorite in all of New York, it is just so light! Every time I cut a bite with my fork, I wondered how they make it. I would love to see that. The ice cream was some sort of mocha flavor with chocolate chips, which is another favorite thing of mine. Chocolate chips = love.
So, I love Gotham Bar & Grill is what it really comes down to. It’s such a nice place and the service is impeccable. You feel like everyone really cares and they are trying their best to take care of you. Angela thought going to Gotham was just a regular ol’ thing for me. I wish! I’ve been one other time with my friend Joe, when we split a bottle of wine during Summer Restaurant Week and I was delirious in happiness. Haha. I love these days.
And I’m not the only one who takes pictures at restaurants!
When she made the reservation, Melissa told them they were celebrating birthdays so at the end of our meal they brought out a little plate with a bunch of mini desserts on it.
Cute but not even comparable to their chocolate cake. An A for effort though, and for everything else. :)
oh i didn’t even know u took that pic of me looking at my camera, my eyebrow was crazy then it looks like
You sure do celebrate a lot of bdays!
YUM on the cake!
I forgot i’m supposed to wait until after lunch to check our your blog :)
I want to go eat now that all looks great!
Totally should not have read this while I’m eating a Healthy Choice micro meal.
Haha yes, that does not sound good. :)
Awesome opening photo! Em, I too have a HC dinner in the microwave! How about that?
Thanks! I thought the picture turned out really cool. What is with you people and the HC?!? :)
It’s healthy food, relatively cheap, and fast to make! For those of us who are on a 1)budget and 2)have to watch what we eat to keep from looking like balloons. :-) Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth! And enjoy some more of those yummy desserts and things for me!! :-)
