We had the pleasure of dining at the final omakase at the Office of Mr Moto @dear.mr.moto before they paused service for a couple of weeks to revamp their menu. After 50 years of service as a sushi master, the original chef Toshio Matsuoka retired and moved back to Japan. I had the fortune of dining at the counter with him twice previous to this visit and even though there was a language barrier he always managed to make me laugh with his cute and quirky personality. They have reopened as of yesterday with what they formerly called the Modernity Menu, now their new signature menu. We got to try this newer progressive edomae tasting menu by Chef @kitaharakenji, and let me tell you — it is truly fantastic. Plump botan ebi jumbo sweet shrimp with fresh grated bottarga. Wagyu, uni, caviar and truffle — what's not to love? A5 aburi grilled in front of us, osetra caviar, burgundy truffle, Hokkaido uni Display of premium fresh ingredients! That wagyu beef marbling 😍 Uni tasting being prepared! Video montage of @jmchu6 solving the code to enter, interior and first courses Giant iwagaki rock oyster with ponzu gelee, oroshi grated radish and shiso flowers Smoked chawanmushi silky egg custard, scallop, nameko mushroom, gingko nut, gold leaf Kinmedai golden eye snapper Another shot of the ebi Duo of sasazushi white king salmon cured and wrapped in bamboo leaf, and zuwaigani oshizusi pressed snow crab sushi with kinome Sansho pepper leaf Grilled akamutsu nodoguro black throat sea perch, finger lime pulp over rice Video montage of the second half of our meal Wagyu, fish, tuna, toro, clear soup with toro Another shot of the wagyu Trio of tuna tasting! Akami lean, chutoro medium fatty and otoro fatty tuna belly Gindara silver cod smoked and then torched Uni tasting! Two types of uni sea urchin from Hokkaido — bafun and murasaki, side by side Dessert! Melon, strawberry, tea.

It has to be at least 10 years since I last visited @littleowlnyc, a neighborhood institution, and it's still just as delicious as I remember. Great to see Chef @joecampanaro (and congrats on getting hitched!) and have his food once again, this time for lunch. The Little Owl also serves breakfast plates during lunch on weekdays, essentially making brunch an option all week long. Every dish was spot on and I loved dining in their light flooded room in the afternoon, perfectly situated on a corner in the West Village surrounded by brownstones. It was the perfect place to grab food mid day, and have their signature iconic meatball sliders once again. * a Little Owl original, these gravy meatball sliders are tender and saucy. One bite and you'll understand why these are a signature * a closeup of the perfectly cooked skirt steak ordered as an addition to a lil' gem caesar salad * a very good bacon cheeseburger on a sesame seed bun * video montage of lunch with @jmchu6! * grilled branzino filet with crispy lobster paella * truffle-fontina creamed spinach on focaccia toast, a breakfast item with a sunny side up egg * burger cross section * full lil' gem caesar shot with parmesan croutons * green beans, chile, sesame, mint, oyster sauce * Chef @joecampanaro and the wines especially made for each of his restaurants * spritz, perfect for lunch *

🚀 @_spaceclub_ Club Fort Greene, Out of This World Fun! 🌟 Checked out the brand new location in Fort Greene and WOW, this place was a blast! 💥🤩 Multiple floors of pure sensory fun, and both our kids (5 & 1) LOVED it… and so did we! 🥳 ✨ The design of this place has got to be one of the cutest I’ve seen in NYC! Every detail is thoughtfully curated, making it just as fun for parents as it is for kids. No surprise, since artist CJ Hendry designed Space Club as a space where adults can feel like kids again! 🎨🏡 My absolute favorite? The bead pool! ✨💎 Grab a string from the wall and dive into a pool of beads to create your own bracelet, such a creative and fun concept! 😍 Bonus: They also have a café on the ground level! ☕️🥐 Perfect for parents who need a coffee break while the little ones explore. Even better, we got to create such fun memories with the kiddos @helenh852 & @jmchu6 ! ❤️👧👦 So grateful for adventures like these! Highly recommend this fun, interactive indoor play space—truly a must-visit for all ages! 🚀💫 #nyc #nyckids

Classic solid tasty #GreekFood is what's kept @periyalinyc open for almost 40 years in the #Flatiron district. Although I love taramosalata, I really enjoyed the smoked eggplant dip and #fava kremidaki. Fish was, of course, grilled perfectly and a sizzling #saganaki #cheese pull is always fun! #Greek
