DRY-AGED RIB EYE AT THE STANDARD

New York had a lovely dream-like quality this time. Perhaps it was the fog over the Hudson. Or the beautiful room in the Standard, tilted above the Highline.  Perhaps it was the sidewalk champagne, with actual glass bubbles rising high above.  So much of what I saw and loved in the past few days reminded me of other beautiful places in the world, and yet could only exist on this particular sliver of an island.
