Options for Easter: NY + LA
[dropcap letter=”S”]ure, we could spend the day in our kitchens creating amazing dishes, cleaning up spilled drinks, loading and unloading the dishwasher, chasing after the sugar high – OR – we could put on our Sunday’s best, make a reservation and let the chefs do all the work.Below is a round up in New York and LA that should at least get you started.

Wallsé, Chef Kurt Gutenbrunner’s Michelin-starred flagship offers a modern take on European classics. The restaurant’s decoration brings an impeccable integration between fine dining & fine art and a new-found finesse in everything from the flavors, to the service, art and design. It also offers the largest selection of Austrian wines in the U.S.
Café Sabarsky is located inside New York’s Neue Galerie and brings a taste of Vienna right to New York’s backyard. It draws its inspiration from the great Viennese cafés that served as important centers of intellectual and artistic life at the turn of the century.
Upholstery Store: Food & Wine redefines conventional seafood dishes and carries a wide variety of wines to please every palate. The mixologists at this romantic bar are experts at crafting bespoke cocktails for those who wish to experiment more creative combinations.
