Che Fico - May 22, 2025

 This restaurant club marks just over 20 years of dining together!! Two decades! Who could have imagined that when we started this in our 30s that we'd still be stuffing our faces and gossiping 20 years later. My god....we have been through births, marriages, and kids all grown up! Sash and Matt are in college and Gail and Steph's kids are quickly growing up. We even talked about how Stella said the F word when talking about what she was going to do out on the soccer field (she's 11!!). Had a good laugh over that one.

Gail's boss Christina joined us this evening and had strongly recommended Che Fico (Gail's pick). She was not wrong!! It was so insanely good. We started dinner with delicious cocktails and a big fat round of focaccia. It came with mascarpone butter that was melt in your math. Then we had some kind of ravioli filled with short rib - amazing. And the gnocchi was some of the best I've ever had. Two kinds of pizza were absolutely delicious, and the 3 desserts put me over the edge. Glad we are still eating like we are in our 30s!!!

The state of the world is total despair. When I write this blog next year, I don't even know whether we will be a democracy any more. Probably not, the way things are heading. Boo hoo!!!

Frisson

First ever meeting of the Restaurant Club! This swanky Financial District restaurant/lounge was the perfect choice to kick of our new R. Club (ultimately, Frisson to close down). After hearing Dionne state that she didn't want a drink due to a supposed hangover from the night before, the truth came out that she was preggers (with Matty). We got a free bottle of wine from Gail's friend, JP. The atmosphere was better than the food here. Just the beginning of years of fun... 5/20/05

Opaque: Dining in the Dark

(Dionne's pick). Was quite a trip to dine int eh dark. We couldn't see anything, it was pitch black!! Was scary at first, then fun, then hilarious. The service SUCKED - it was the waiter's first day. And he told us to be quieter because I guess someone was complaining. Food was not even that good, except for the first course of tuna tartare. Very overpriced ($99 pp), plus then booze (stemless glasses). Kind of a rip. 4/25/09.
