Where do the Jews go to eat on Christmas Day? That's easy-usually we are all at a local Chinese Restaurant. This year we had a great alternative: We had a delightful dinner at Kutcher's Tribecca. It is located at 186 Franklin Street and just opened a few weeks ago.
From the moment we entered the restaurant, it was a pleasant experience. The hostess station was welcoming and there was no condescending attitudes. At the bar, "Torres" was helpful and friendly and guided us through their innovative drink menu. We were seated on time, and at a lovely table. The decor was super cool and the restaurant has a great vibe.
Now for the menu-it was an array of fabulous options: Salads, latkes, knishes, matzo ball soup, artichoke appetizers were all great starters. Entrees included chickens, fish, short ribs, meatballs and many more choices. My family especially loved the skirt steak, mushroom and ricotta stuffed kreplach, and the pastrami/chopped liver platter with fresh rye breads! By the time we ended the meal, we all were too full to try dessert but judging from the rest of the meal, we are sure they will be delicious. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant. All in all, it was a terrific meal and lots of fun for the whole family. Go-you will leave with a smile on your face and a full belly!
Next stop: Always a must see during Christmas Season, is Barney's Windows. Unlike Kutcher's Tribecca, this was disappointing. In past years, Barney's iconic window displays have never let us down. Last night, I am sorry to say, they did. The windows created by Dennis Freedman were frankly boring. Two of the three were exactly the same. The one intriguing window was of Gaga's Boudoir which was created totally with hair. Very cool and amazing.....
If you have a little time, stop by Lord and Taylor and Saks. Their windows are always a must see.
Happy Holidays!
