Which was buttery in texture and perfectly cooked, it’s remarkable how they achieve this. (grainy images courtesy of Thomas' iphone)
I had red snapper which was good but sadly nothing special though I rather liked the way they wrapped half a lemon in a little yellow net, it looked like wedding favours!
We had some brocolli, potato and mushrooms on the side and a bottle of white and the whole thing came in at over $250. Nice, but not that nice.
What’s nicer is that we stayed at The Waldorf=Astoria, such extravagance necessary due to a landmark birthday. Our upgraded suite in the Waldorf Towers was incredible.
It’s a beautiful and luxurious hotel and our room was extravagantly large with a hallway, dressing room, kitchen area and a very spectacular marble bathroom.
The views from the 36th Floor were unsurprisingly dizzying!
The Waldorf=Astoria typifies Old New York and it felt very grand to be staying there. The public areas are impressive and the highlight for me was having a pre-dinner gin and tonic at The Terrace Bar on New Year’s Eve surrounded by a group of merry ladies dancing and singing (accompanied by a piano) a rousing version of Ella Fitzgerald’s ‘S Wonderful, and it really was!
