Union Square Cafe – New York
Do not be fooled by its rather simple name. This place is as sophisticated as it gets when it comes to food. I finally had a great occasion to test it out and it turned out better than expected. Start with the Sliced Cara Cara Oranges and then either go for the Grilled Lamb Chops or the Pappardelle with Mortadella. Remember to make a reservation for dinner. Walk-ins are ok for lunch.
