Jackie's Corner Table: May 2009
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. The piece de resistance: Momofuku Ko. What kind of restaurant doesn’t have a phone? Or at least claims it does not have one). A good one. What kind of restaurant stays alive with only 24 patrons a night? A great one. What kind of restaurant has a chef that consistently wins awards, yet still works in your face with only two other people helping out? Foie Gras, Riesling jelly, lychees, peanut brittle. Am I the only one on earth that doesn’t like this dish? Snapper – so I had ...

Jackie's Corner Table: April 2009
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. I always tell people that it is un-New York to not eat sushi. It’s my little way of getting back at the people who tell me it’s un-American to not eat ice cream (which I do not like). What are the best sushi places in NYC? Probably the ones I cannot afford to go to…. Citysearch has an interesting list. With Blue Ribbon coming in a strong 4. Most of these places have been in NYMag’s list. I had only been to Blue Ribbon Sushi. I know body builders love them, why shouldn’t I?

Jackie's Corner Table: Ninety Acres
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2010/01/ninety-acres.html
Friday, January 15, 2010. Out in a quaint little town in New Jersey, a young man had a dream. His dream was to build an enormous ranch style farm-to-table restaurant pushed back from the road for the entire town to marvel. Ok, maybe I made some parts of that up. Ninety Acres. Might be set far back from a quiet road, but it’s one of the many indulgences of Sir Richard Branson. (I have to add that the website is crazy fancy). Salad – greens, cauliflower, apples, vinegar, manchego. There were quie...I don&#...

Jackie's Corner Table: July 2009
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 18, 2009. Very impressive in itself. Trio of Crudo: In general, if you need a like pre-appetizer, crudo is the way to go. We tried the trio because, being us, we can not decide on one thing, and aren’t interested in being confined to things like… dishes or… price. So, we got the trio (which in actuality wasn’t overpriced). Branzino with caviar. We got this because we never get sea bass crudo. It was unimpressive and lacked taste. I don’t suggest getting this. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Onto t...

Jackie's Corner Table: October 2009
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. He’s nothing like that…except for the name! Wasn’t overly enthused either. Guess, as the saying goes, nothing beats grandma’s cooking! We started with the Meatballs, Roasted Garlic, Olives, Tomato and the Greek salad. My Greek boyfriend told me that they tasted just like his grandma’s! I find that pretty impressive. Considering that the only meatballs I have had since starting to eat meat again are the frozen chicken meatballs from Costco, these were a delightful treat! I will r...

Jackie's Corner Table: Joseph Leonard
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2009/10/joseph-leonard.html
Monday, October 19, 2009. Http:/ www.josephleonard.com/. Is that seriously a website? Way to not seem pretentious…. I guess that is what happens when you are the owner of a couple of the best and hippest restaurants in the west village. I did blog a while ago about Little Owl didn’t I? I will remember the soft shell crab with asparagus risotto forever. What’s the point of that then? I would much rather have a risotto! It’s well worth it. October 26, 2009 at 1:53 PM.

Jackie's Corner Table: Dumont
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2010/01/dumont.html
Friday, January 15, 2010. It was a blustery day. So, we decided to travel an entire 10 miles (40 minutes by public transportation) over to Brooklyn! I’ve lived in NYC (now Hoboken) for over 7 years. I have been to Brooklyn twice. The first was for a birthday party at a beer garden, the second was to go to the Brooklyn Brewery. So, basically, to me, Brooklyn = beer. Maybe I need to branch out…. On our way to the brewery we stopped at a place that one of my friends recommended called Dumont. It was excelle...

Jackie's Corner Table: Beauty and Essex
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2011/01/beauty-and-essex.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. The party don’t start till I walk in…ok, maybe it’s already started. Let me talk about what happened to me at the bar. We walk up, discuss the order and I start to dive in. There are 8 of us, so I designate myself the one to push through and get a bottle of proscecco. When I’m about to dive in, two girls get up from their bar stools. WHOOPIE! I probably sound like I hate Beauty and Essex, but it’s not true. Would I rush to go back? Let’s talk food. The menu was stagge...The Kal...

Jackie's Corner Table: Yes... I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!: Corton
http://jackiescornertable.blogspot.com/2009/10/yes-im-baaaaaaaaaaaaaack-corton.html
Thursday, October 8, 2009. Http:/ www.cortonnyc.com/. There is that man called Paul Liebrandt running the kitchen. I guess he’s a 30ish year old dynamo who just received two Michelin stars. I’m going to be 30 next year…this is the kind of stuff that makes me feel old, boring and unaccomplished (even though I’m young, vivacious and quite generally amazing). So, all ambiance aside, lets get down to the dirty dirty. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If you have any comments, I would love to hear. Ethereal...
