Overheard on the New York Boards

"Hits were the butter poached oysters, so silky, sweet, plump little oysters with a splash of caviar for a little hit of saltiness. ... Sea urchin fondue texturally reminded me of egg drop soup but it was divine, sweet and creamy. It was ordered twice and both times, the bread was broken out to mop up the last bits out of the bowl." - bdachow on Colicchio & Sons

"I'd been sick and was in need of this dish's somewhat restorative and herbal properties. A very full-flavored broth - I caught traces of cinnamon and fennel in there - was topped off by some fatty and tender slabs of pork leading the way, excellent fresh mushrooms, greens and fried tofu skins. This is, thus far, my favorite rendition of this dish in NYC." - Polecat on bah kut teh at New Curry Leaves

"Forgot how good Rocco's black and white cookie with orange glaze is--had one tonight, so fresh and soft--loved it ... it's definitely a departure from your classic ... and the orange kind of gives a citrusy zing against the sweetness of the vanilla and choc." - janie on Rocco's Pastry Shop
