Rare Weekend 5.29.08

This weekend is not getting Carried away.



A wood-burning oven and wood-fired grill. Acclaimed chef Gary Robins (previously of The Biltmore Room and Aja). If you’re looking for an epiphany on a plate, look to the new Sheridan Square. And then look for Dry Aged Prime New York Strip, Anise Scented Crisped Long Island Duck Breast, and Sheridan Square “Cioppino”, a luxurious mix of scallops, clams, shrimp, and mussels in a tomato fennel broth. Here’s the menu.

Sheridan Square, 134 Seventh Avenue South (at West 10th Street), (212) 352-2237, sheridansquarenyc.com

Summer on Park Avenue means… Park Avenue Summer. This season, the talented Chef Koketsu is celebrating fresh seafood. Try the Park Avenue Bouillabaisse, Grilled Langoustines, or the heartier Fire-Roasted Lamb Chops. We’ll let the menu sell itself.

Park Avenue Summer, 100 East 63rd Street (at Park Avenue), (212) 644-1900, parkavenyc.com
