Casa Mono

Went to Casa Mono, a wonderful, albeit cramped tapas bar run by Mario Batali ( on the corner of 17th and Irving Pl. in NYC) last night.

Fantastic meal:

• Pumpkin & Goat Cheese Croquetas
• Bacalao Croquetas with Orange Alioli
• Mussels with Cava & Chorizo
• Sweetbreads with Fennel al Mono
• Skirt Steak with Onion Marmelada
• Sea Bass with cream sauce and radish

I also had dessert:

• Mono Sundae
• Chocolate Cake

It was a brilliant execution with good friends, and a very knowledgeable and attentive waitstaff. The Bill wasn't all that much either (aside from drinks).

Now I've got to figure out how to re-create those sweetbreads. Sometimes you just need some thymus.

Updated Week-End Plans!

To all interested:

This Saturday (9th July) should be a fun one.

First

An early dinner at Mannahatta tapas bar and lounge at 6pm.

After

Cinekink, the BDSM film festival. at 9:30pm.

Kudos to thornyc for hipping me to the film festival.

I'd like to get reservations for Mannahatta, so if you are interested, please reply in this journal entry by friday.

If you can't make it to dinner, hopefully, you can catch up with us at the film. All are welcome.
