Tulsi...Holy Basil, Batman

The best meal I or jeanne have had in so long...and we have had many...maybe too many good meals. And Barbara and Nick loved everything from the German Sylvaner to the Vouvray and the bread pudding. The lamb,the basil green chicken kebobs, the rabbit... and the bananna dumplings , the nan and the pea and coconut croquettes,the peppers and cauliflour, and the lamb. Could there be a more professional and kind staff? Is there a chef in NYC who can provide such flavourful deeply spiced variety of foods better than the commander,Hemant Mathur? If the food Gods are just Gods, then this will be known as the holy grail fo foodies. All that a restaurant lover could want is here. 46st bet 2av and 3av.

Fairy Queen and Brooklyn Flea and 2 kinds of Gruner

So first there was the Met's HD Hamlet(3 hours and 40 min) followed by the Fairy Queen at BAM(3 hours and 45 minutes] . In between there was a brief stop at the grand old Williamsburg Bank building at One Hanson Place near the LIRR where the Bklyn Flea was full of stuff and food...in the old safe in the basement. Vendors included lobster roll mongers and tamales wrappers(famous red hook ball field vendors). We ate at Thomas Beisel and tried two Gruners by the class which the chef owner says is his Proustian Madelaine's
(to recall) Austria. The Fairy Queen ends with song and shiny confetti.
