It's Time to be in the know about...Tsukushi!

Hello Foodies,

We couldn't wait to let you know about Tsukushi - an amazing Japanese restaurant! Many people must walk right by it never even knowing there's a restaurant located at 300 East 41st Street. There is only a number and no sign or windows and doesn't look anything like a restaurant. I correct myself, the name is written on the awning in white letters so look up.

Once you do discover it, Tsukushi is heaven. Chef Norihiko Manabe cooks alone or maybe with one other cook. He prepares 6 or 7 course menus and everyone eats the same dinner for that evening. Each night his menu changes. The fish is so fresh and delicious whether it's served cooked or raw. If you still have room, you can also order his special soups. Everything is delicious!

Enjoy,

the Forks

Brava to Sfoglia!

Hello Foodies!

This charming restaurant pictured here is Sfoglia! A lovely gem nestled on the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 92nd Street!

It's cozy and intimate and some tables shared by other diners. We were lucky the night we were there and shared the table with nice people. But enough about the people, let's talk about the food -Yum!

Servings are generous and many of the starters are excellent to share. Menus feature some seasonal delights as we were lucky to enjoy fava beans, prepared with homemade Sfoglia goat cheese and fried shallots! We also shared the affettati misti and the antipasti della casa. Both plates filled with treasures!

The bread is amazing too - served warm! Then for an entre, an artichoke ravioli served with spring lamb ragu, and shaved pecorino was enjoyed. We also recommend the lemon risotto, prepared with roasted bone marrow, almonds, and limoncello.

For dessert, we all shared the torta of the day - which was almond served with gelatto on top.

Reservations are a must or go on the later side of the evening. Call 212.831.1402!

Let us know if you go.

Enjoy!
