QUALITY BISTRO: SHOULD YOU GO?

The interior of Quality Bistro

It feels GREAT to be back on the NYC Restaurant scene — how I’ve missed it! I took a long hiatus until it was evident that the COVID vaccines were working.

Outdoor eating at Old Vinings Inn

In the outskirts of Atlanta across the Chattahoochee River in a town called Vinings, exists a quaint cottage restaurant called Old Vinings Inn. The small-town gives this particular restaurant a completely different feel from our usual jaunts.

WHITE OAK KITCHEN AND COCKTAILS: YOUR OASIS IN MIDTOWN

JEAN-GEORGES

Make no mistake: Jean-Georges is not just a fine restaurant, it’s a luxury experience and a clinic in customer service. Admittedly, I ate there a few months ago, but it was one of the finest restaurant outings I’ve had during my time in NYC, so I thought it was worth doing a retroactive post even if some …
