YUM...Babbo is so wonderful..pain in the ass to get reservations too. Stinging nettle pappardelle (with some sort of ragu) and Love Letters are especially good. [64]
Casa Mono is outstanding also, I recommend that as well, for a more casual meal. [51]

Casa Mono is just a tad crazy with the crowds, unfortunately. I'm repeating myself but Highly recommend Degustation. Wesley Genovart is even popular as an up and comer among his fellow chefs - and the tasting menu is amazing at 5 courses for $50.
i had the squid ink spaghetti and the mint love letters; the gf had garganelli and pumpkin lune pastas; and saffron panacotta and the apple tart as desert. we polished off two glasses of wine. the price wasn't all that bad, especially having eaten at per se. oof.

I second the Degustation recommendation; maybe my favorite spot in New York. I love the intimacy of the space; it's a converted sushi bar.
for those curious, these were the dishes that were eaten/purchased ;) sorry for the bad pictures, but the restaurant was very dark and my camera sucks.
Cas, when in December will you be in NYC? I'll be in the Boston area for most of Dec 17 to Jan 6 and I definitely plan on hitting up the city at least once during that time.
The ski season is upon us, so my recent purchases are snow related. Pulled down my Mammoth Season Pass and a fresh Burton Vapor to rip the mountain. Hot damn I hope the season is a good one!
DHC- You and me both. Although somehow I don't think this season is going to be any better than last years. See all these fires! I'm surrounded by smoke here in Orange County.
I just hope Tahoe gets some good snow this season, then at least I can go up that way every now and then.
