I bring you only good tidings this morning. Happy Wednesday!

It was wonderful to meet Jasmine Gerald and the team at Jasmine’s Caribbean Cuisine on W46th Street yesterday. From now on, if you feel the need to be whisked away to a tropical island, you can quickly escape to Restaurant Row.


Congratulations to Nick Accardi and the team at Tavola. The 9th Avenue restaurant featured in Nikolas Grasso’s short film, which has been nominated for the Marcello Film Festival in the UK. Tavola is the movie’s name, the location — and Chef/Owner Nick takes a starring role!
