Victor: My friend Simon has wanted to try Per Se for a long time now, and he finally got the chance to try it back in April! I’ve been lazy about posting this; sorry about that! The meal was pretty great, and I finally got to try the famous cauliflower panna cotta and caviar dish, which took the place of the traditional oysters and pearls that people see so often at Per Se.

We’ve wanted to try Blue Hill for a while now, and I finally made the reservation back in May. It’s located at Stone Barns around Tarrytown. It’s really easy to get there from Manhattan; you just take a train from Grand Central to Tarrytown on the Metro-North line, and then you just take a short 5- to 1-minute taxi ride from the train station.

We got there early, so they said we could just walk around the farm and check the different areas out. It’s pretty neat to be able to walk around and see different (and delicious) animals.

Look at these adorable, living lambs! (We had some DELICIOUS lamb later hahaha.)

Anyway, there are several tasting menus for dinner (with the max number of courses at 12), and we went with the 12-course “Farmer’s Feast”. We had been waiting quite a bit to eat here, so we wanted to try everything they had to offer for spring!
