Top 5 resturants where you can wear jeans and t-shirt.

Thanks for the reply.

Top 5 resturants where you can wear jeans and t-shirt.

My friends are coming into town for my birthday next week and we probably wont feel like going home and changing before dinner. We will probably be dressed fairly casually.

What are the best restaurants in Manhattanwhere where dress code is not really an issue, price in not a concern.

Some places i have been wanting to try out: WD-50, Craft, Scarpetta, Sushi Yasuda...

I always liked the elderly women food critic and the politician on the original IC.

awful awful awful dinner at l'absinthe

Totally inexcusable.

That guy should be fired.

People should be treated the same whether they are ordering $300 worth of food and wine, or just a simple meal with water.

I bought a durian!

Really?

When i ate durian i still smelled/tasted it like 3 days later.

I brushed, rinsed my mouth, scraped my tongue and could not get rid of the smell/taste.

Sea Urchin Roe

Thanks.

I do love oysters, abalone, clams, muscles and so on, almost all seafood in fact. so an "of the sea" flavor does not bother me.

I think the texture was just alarming when it comes with a bad flavor. I would compare it to if you were to puree canned tuna in a blender or something.

Seems like both times i just must have recieved sub-par quality product.
Maybe i will give sea urchin another try....

Sea Urchin Roe

Chefs go crazy for it.

I have tried it a couple times at fairly nice sushi resturants, and found it not great.
Sort of fishy with a strange texture...

Did i get poor quality both times? What am i missing?

Is it one of those things thats amazing when fresh but horrible when just normal?
