does anyone have a good tomato soup recipe?
I would love SaraBeth's Tomato Soup Recipe but I can't seem to locate it online at GoodHousekeeping.com. Any ideas where I can get it? Thanks.
Easter Brunch & Dinner in Manhattan
Sarabeth's is always a great idea for brunch (there are several locations in Manhattan so hopefully you can still get reservations). You must have a pumpkin muffin.

I am taking my mother to Neptune's Room since we've been to Sarabeth's 100 times. www.neptuneroom.com
Happy Easter!
Searching for Eggs Benedict with Lobster?
Are there any Manhattan restaurants that serve an eggs benedict with Lobster? (Instead of salmon or canadian bacon).
Patisserie Claude's Croissants-What's Wrong with ME??!!
I love the plain or chocolate croissants at Max Brenner's Chocolate by the Bald Man.
Le Cirque revisited
I was just there for restaurant week. I loved it. I had the chestnut parpaddelle appetizer, branzino & the fabulous chocolate dessert. I loved every minute of it. Since my family is european we are used to long dinners. So I was there with my girlfriends and chatting it up long after we drank out coffee. The staff never rushed us & even kept refilling our water goblets. It is worth the pricetag, esp. for a special occasion.
Please Fill in the blanks
Vice Versa is my favorite restaurant in NYC (and it has been for many years). You must try their signature dish of homemade veal/raisin/amaretto cookie raviolis, sauteed in a light butter & sage sauce.
Fairway Gruyere
Thanks. I love tips like this one. I will be making a trip this weekend to Fairway. Being 1/2 French, I was raised on Gruyere (souffles, potato gratin) and love the nuttyness of it. More people need to be introduced to this fabulous tasting cheese.
Whole hazelnuts?
Hi. The Amish Market has an entire wall dedicated to nuts/dried fruits. There are a few in the city. The one I frequent is on 45th Street bet 2nd & 3rd Avenues. Even if you already found where to purchase your hazelnuts, I would strongly recommend visiting this Market. If you are as much a foodie as I am, you will love it.
