Al Di La
We've just been to Al di La for dinner and it is fanstastic. Wonderfully buttery and fresh. My beet-ricotta ravioli was clearly house-made and perfect. Derek's rabbit was incredibly tender. The tagliatelle was sublime. The plum bread pudding and tarragon ice cream was the best dessert I've had in a while.
This day started out crappy -- I had an awful sleep last night and developed a splitting headache by 3, there seemed to be no heat in the apartment, and it was raining, but now I'm perfectly happy. Good food, good wine (and good desert wine) completely turned things around. The trick to getting a seat without waiting is to get there exactly at 6, when it opens. Also, save your appetite for dinner so you can order both a primi and secondi plate.
Knitting note: I finally paid a visit to The Point (cute store) and got some more baby blanket yarn today -- something I'd been meaning to do for weeks. All in all, a successful Saturday.
