Yes, I hear per se has a fantastic vegetarian menu. I just don't think I'm ready to drop $300 (let's be honest, I'd have to take my wife, so $600 (but let's really be honest, we'll want wine pairings, so $900)) on dinner in the near future...

I was surprised at how long EMP took for lunch. Our reservation was at 12:30 and I had actually told them that I needed to be out of there by 2:30. It still took about three hours. I guess the tour of the kitchen, etc., were unnecessary, but a nice touch. I only told them at the time of the reservation that I was in a bit of a hurry; I suspect that if I had reminded them at the restaurant, they would have picked up the pace a bit.

That was actually a great day; I was in a hurry to leave EMP because I was going from there to Blue Hill at Stone Barns
