The first day is officially a client's day so even our meal is charged on them. :D Our producer been to this casual New York restaurant before and brought us there.

Mine: Pan-Roasted Foie Gras (very oily but heavenly), Maine Sea Urchin Spaghetti (so fresh, sauce so flavored) and my dessert Steamed Orange Polenta Cake with Pomegranate Sorbet. *O* (my god I haven't had pomegranate since I was little in HK~~)

Slow-Roasted Sirloin, Crispy Chocolate Gateau, Caedamon Icecream

Everything is delicious and the menu is unique. By 'casual' of course meaning a more loosen up but still go-out-at-night no jean attair type of slight dress-upsy vibe that are not common in LA ^^;;; It has a nice New York scene. And the price is still $$ level, because this restaurant is actually a spin-off from a way more highend restaurant called simply "Craft." It's in here that I experienced the 'shaking' of the subway underground. Most 1st floor in every building will feel the shake and noise of the subway train underneath.

Yeah once I heard about it being 'free', I immediately change my mind and getting the foie gras ^^;;; I felt a bit conscious of wearing jeans...I only brought this one crappy pair of jeans and rough looking boot, I envied people wearing long dresses and pointy heely boot XOOOO (I only brought a tiny luggage...)

The foie gras and sea-urchin pasta look amazingly! The crispy choco cake looks interesting too. Wonderful free meal you guys got!!

Were you nervous being in the NY scene?? How is the atmosphere like?
