Some highlights from our recent babymoon to NYC. We somewhat planned the trip around visiting at least a couple restaurants, and we finally landed on Jungsik, Aska and Rezdora. For my girlfriend, Aska was the clear winner, whilst I preferred Jungsik, though the quality difference between the two was marginal at best, as they were very both excellent restaurants.
Unfortunately Rezdora wasn't quite up our alley, we could appreciate the level of skill involved in making the dishes, but years of eating homemade pasta in Finland has left our palate too unrefined for quality pasta dishes.
The striped jack (Image 2), the octopus (image 3), the yellowtail kimbap (image 6), the langoustine (image 16) and hake (image 17) were all among the best dishes I've had, with the hake taking the crown. I genuinely wouldn't mind eating it for the rest of my life.
We were slightly surprised by the quality of the desserts as well, generally they've been the weakest parts of the tasting menus we've enjoyed in the past, but at both Jungsik and Aska they thoroughly delivered, especially the assortment (image 9), though I can barely remember how they tasted, just that we thoroughly enjoyed them.
