Gramercy Tavern - we’ve done this quite a few times but it fell off the list after 2014 for no particular reason. Ate there back again in July and regretted not eating there 5 years in between. Going again in a few weeks.
Arpege - one of our close friends is joining us. He’s vegan and so I thought it would be a cool New Years gift.
next year I’m aiming to do Tickets again, as well El Cellar again. Will try Mirazur for the first time.
did Osteria Francescana, Bo Lan, and Gaggan over the summer. OF was excellent but not amazing enough for me to try to go again. Bo Lan sucked and I regretted wasting time on that place.
Gaggan will always confuse me, but is up there with my favorite experiences. Would go again if I didn’t have to fly all the way to BKK for it.
Looking like it'll be "Michelin month." Did Bibendum about a week ago. Headed to Davies and Brook next week which I'm sure will get a star. Doing Sushi Zo, GT and Chef's Table as mentioned above. Arpege in the new year, D&B again (assuming the first dining experience is good), and Sketch. It'll be my first time at all of these except Gramercy Tavern.
I really enjoyed Bibendum. Will probably not go there again as I'm so rarely in that part of town, but thought it was great. I've had better in London but it was a great, but not superbly excellent dining experience. Definitely worthy of the star, but not sure how many stars.
