At Per Se, yes. However, dessert was a dozen or more courses, despite being listed on the menu as one. One dessert course was a single perfect kernel of popcorn, enveloped in a ball of fresh, homemade, salty butter, covered in a thin shell of homemade vanilla ice cream, dipped in frozen nitrogen so the whole thing crunched in your mouth as it melted. You didn't know what it was until you bit it.
And before you could say 'I'd like another," some other marvelous creation was being served to you.
Would you want that every day of your life? No. Is the food incredible, the service incredible, the presentation incredible (and the place a relative bargain in the world of Manhattan fine dining and Carnegie Deli $20+ dollar sandwiches)? Yes.
“Carnegie Deli $20+ dollar sandwiches..>>”
Yeah, but I got three meals out of one of those stacked beauties, (I think I had “The Rudy”), and I am not a small guy.
On this thread, I better not EVEN bring up the magnificence of NYC street food....
