The ox tail was very good but the fried chicken was all dried up and mostly breading. The basmati rice was good but the brown rice was blend. The kale and brussel sprouts were pretty well done considering those are hard veggies to prepare well.

This is a very nice scenic alternative to the subway when going or coming from Roosevelt Island. You will see most of the city as you go over the East River and you can use your Metro pass as you would on a subway train. I highly recommend this for children as it's a fairly quick activity and has elevators available to access.

This was a gorgeous little gem that I stumbled upon. The chocolate croissant was the best I've had in the United States. The butter croissants were just a bit burned in this batch. However, overall it was such a nice elegant cafe that really made me feel like I was back in Paris. The interior is beautifully decorated with a large chandelier, and there are 2 levels of seating with different size tables. The staff is super nice and friendly which is always nice to find in the city. This is a romantic little spot for a coffee date as well.

I love going to the Met Opera... I have seen some wonderful productions there over the last decade. There is food and drink to purchase and the bathrooms are fairly clean and well equipped for older folks (even a raised toilet seat). it's beautiful and peaceful place in a city that's neither. I highly recommend you watch an opera here!

This was a lovely dining experience. It has become one of my favorite restaurants in the Tampa Bay area. I got the rack of lamb, which was very good. I would pass on the calamari next time. I tried some of the seafood pasta, and it was good as well. The lemon sauce emulsion for the bread was my favorite thing there! The dessert was very good. The menu prices might be on the higher end, but the quality, ambiance, service, and vibe make it worth trying.
