Independence Day in NYC
KTW
My frequent trips to NYC typically come in Fall/Winter/Spring, so when I ended up there in July it took a little adjusting to (ie. no sport coat/socks/etc.). It was a daring five-day restaurant marathon: Mas Grillade; ABC Kitchen; North End Grill; Prime Meats; Txikito and others lost in the fog. However, my favorite new spot for food + ambiance is the restaurant at the new NoMad Hotel in midtown. Put together by the team responsible for Eleven Madison Park (after USHG/Danny Meyer graciously stepped out), it is a wonderful place to eat. http://www.thenomadhotel.com/
