Attn NYC Foodies

Leah Turano, who does event planning at a prestigious NYC event planning group has started a blog on NYC restaurants.  While there are lots of sites that review restaurants, Turano’s is particularly good, as she brings the experience of a hostess, a server, a manager, a bartender, an events and catering coordinator, and a foodie into her reviews.  Turano recently gave out her first A+, unsurprisingly, to Nobu.  Writes Turano:

If you haven’t been to Nobu (Nobu Matsuhisa, 105 Hudson Street), call immediately and make a reservation for this calendar day, next month (that’s their reservation policy). You won’t be disappointed.

Open 14 years, and in my opinion- still the best there is, ever was, and perhaps ever will be. I had dined at Nobu Next Door quite a few times before actually nailing down a reservation in the formal dining room that worked with my schedule. That said, I first experienced the perfection last July. I couldn’t wait to get back (although it did take 8 months). Well, the first time was amazing, and this time was just as good. For me, consistency is one of the most important qualities a restaurant can have – especially a restaurant of this caliber – and it is a goal any establishment should strive for. Every dish is carefully constructed and plated. It is so evident that the same care and dedication goes into the first, the last and every dish in between. You would think that after 14 years of pumping out spectacular plates to an always-packed restaurant, something would slip, at least one dish… not here, that’s clearly just not the Nobu style.

Turano lays out a great, if not expensive menu here in her post.  But if you’re gonna spend the money, mind as well spend it right.
