Where do you eat out most frequently?

I cook often, and I have no regular joints, but I love Minca on 5th street and B (homemade ramen), Zabb Café (Issan Thai) on 13th street and 2nd; Diner, Wild Ginger and Oasis in Williamsburg, and would always opt for Raoul’s on Prince Street. I’d be a regular at Le Bernardin if I could…

World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?

Tomorrow- not next week:
Cedar scented sake with
Uni, shiso, hamachi, mirugai, + ika
then
A perfectly charcoal broiled hangar steak, rare inside
Wild arugula with radishes and toasted pumpkin seeds in hazelnut lemon vinaigrette
Broiled string beans in olive oil with grey salt
With a bottle of Cortes de Nuits
then
Flourless chocolate cake with vanilla hazelnut homemade ice cream
And afterwards, some Calvados, dark chocolate, and candied lemon rind.
(if the world doesn’t end tomorrow, I’ll skip dessert)
