5 faves from our author in New York

1) Portale

Chef Alfred Portale revolutionized upscale eating in Manhattan in the 80s at Gotham. Here he brings a wonderful seasonality to Italian dishes, with unexpected twists and extraordinary ingredients. Situated in a fresh, minimalist mid-century style environment, you will feel pampered. The shaved cauliflower salad is a great way to start your meal. Order the duck if it’s something you enjoy, it is sensational.
