NYC Dining with Wine

[Scoop]

First, and sorry I didn't list it before, but Etats Unis' address is 242 E. 81st (tel.# 212 517-8826).

Second, and "characters" aside, compared with the East Village, where The Tasting Room resides, Chez Panisse's setting -- as well as it's ethos and ambience -- is downright bucolic.

If, Winoweenie, you ever get the gumption to come East to Gotham, you can test out my turn-of-phrase. They've made NY safe for tourists, you know, although I'm not sure if NY is safe from the tourism.

Last, Foodie, I checked out your future shop space but, alas, you were already gone for the day (it was padlocked, so I made that big assumption), probably savoring a glass in the neighborhood. Too bad. Next time.

Best of luck fighting the NYC bureaucracy and keep us posted.

Cheers,

Scoop
