The Balthazar Restaurant

Hello everybody, I am back...In this post I am gonna talk about this great restaurant located in Downtown New York. It's a French restaurant, really known in New York with a lot of great options on their menu. It is  a restaurant very sought  for Americans and visitors so I would suggest you to make a reservation in advance, because as I mentioned before the restaurant is very busy. I went there with my Uncles last December, and they had made the reservation with one month in advance.
The restaurant is very cozy and we were very well attended  by a French waitress, very caring that helped us choosing our dishes among the regular menu. Balthazar also offers a raw seafood bar, where you can pick up your own fresh seafood. Speaking of wines they have an expensive menu with a lot of varieties for you to choose.



As my main dish a had a Duck Confit a great choice, if you are looking for something tasty and light. If you don't like French restaurants because the dishes are not well served, this is not a problem at Balthazar, the dishes are well served by a French restaurant and you will fell satisfied. As desert we had a great profiteroles with ice cream and as usual after desert a good double espresso.
Speaking of price, the restaurant is not that cheap however it's worth it, if you are not that into wine the check will be way more affordable. By the end of our dinner, we met Brook Shields she was having dinner at Balthazar with a friend and we took a cab right behind her.
Well, summarizing I had a great time and I cool surprise by the end of the night, for sure this is one of the restaurants you have to go if you come to New York.

The View Restaurant At Marriott Hotel

Hello everybody,

it's been a long time no posting  here, well today I am gonna talk about a different restaurant that we found out in New York. It is great place whether to take your girlfriend or to have a family dinner.



Let's talk about the restaurant now.It's a rooftop restaurant located on the 47th floor of the Marriott Hotel, first you should make a reservation because the restaurant is very sought and you might be not able to get a table by showing up at any time. This restaurant offers an American Cuisine, with a good variety of options on their menu, the price is charged by head and if i am not wrong the price by head is $79,00 and you are entitled to appetizers, a main dish and off course desert, the beverages are charged separately and as usual it comes with their taxes.

The View is great, I took my uncles during the night and it was pretty coll. Other unique special charm this restaurant has, is that, while you are having dinner it gives a 360 lap, don't worry, (hehe) it goes pretty slowly and you can have a beautiful view of all New York City during you enjoy your dinner.

I think the whole lap takes 30 minutes to be completed. Here it goes a tip, if you don't have anything in your stomach you can get a little bit dizzy, I am saying that because when I got there i had not eaten anything for while and i started felling dizzy, nothing important and it took until the appetizers arrived and then i got okay. HEHE

Speaking of appetizers there is a great one in special, it is a salad with duck which is really good and I would recommend it to anyone.

To put in a nutshell, the place is pretty cool. So if you are looking for something unique in NYC to spend a good time with your family or friends, this restaurant is great the price is not that cheap though, but it is understandable.

That's all folks, see you at the next post.

PS: Restaurant's address - 1535 Broadway · New York
