Just wondering, was that at Recette, or was it somewhere else? Been wanting to try that place. Had my first Dutch baby at Spotted Pig over the weekend. That place is awesome.

I've always been hesitant to try the Dutch baby at the Pig or anywhere really because I refuse to believe that anyone can make a better one than me and I don't want to find out

Yeah out of Ken and April's places I really have no idea why the pig and breslin have stars but the John Dory doesn't (instead).

recette! Good call, and dude it was amazing and totally worth every penny. Go there tonight

I've looked at the tasting menu before but I've never tried it. It may be the best priced tasting menu in the city. For what you get—in terms of ingredients and the chef's talent—it seems very reasonable. I've really wanted to check out the Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, but now that Michelin gave it three stars the waiting list is going to be even more insane—and it was already pretty insane. I'll put my name in now to eat some time in mid-2014.

It's soooo good. They serve it with really good (i.e. *****) bacon right on top so you eat it all together.

EDIT:

Just saw this. Dude, if you make better food then you should be raking in the cash with your own spot. Because they make GREAT food.

went with a few people couple years back, tried a bunch of dishes, unimpressed by any of it, did not understand how it was granted a star...
my dishes aren't scalable for opening a restaurant nor do i have interest in operating one, i prefer hosting friends and family though you are welcome any time brother.

what sort of recs are you looking for? I love to save people from looking at Yelp.

I love to eat and love to cook, but I am definitely not a very accomplished cook.

Marcel's is good. I prefer that dude Wiedmayer's other restaurant, Brasserie Beck, but nothing wrong with Marcel's. That old ghulkan post recommends kinkeads and old ebbit, which are like Fodor's-level recs--OK, well known, nothing special at all. Where are you staying?

Ha Donovan house is ok. Watch out for the trashy pool parties on the roof, and the WiFi isn't free. Bed's are comfortable and the Showers are weird Conch shells.

Know the location, can't speak one way or the other about the accomodations. You're close to Churchkey/Birch and Barley, which has probably the best beer selection/program in the city. Also walkable to the aforementioned Beck, which is good for mussels / Belgian beer, and Againn, a scottish / UK place I like (not as nose-to-tail as, say, Spotted Pig). Churchkey is a bar and not too expensive, but the other places can be.

Also in your hood will be Estadio, where I have not been but have heard good things, and Posto, which is good Italian but loud. I don't eat top-notch sushi often, but I like Kushi, a sushi and izakaya place on K st (you'd want to cab unless you like walking). South on 14th you'll find clubs/lounges then either cheap lunch or expensive steak house type establishments.
