My other favorite place in New York actually isn’t even open in the city anymore. Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte, it's a French spot that used to be in Lexington. It’s reopening at a new location somewhere near that same spot later this year, I heard. But it’s incredible. They also have a restaurant in London and France. When you walk in, the staff asks, “Have you eaten here before?” And if you say yes, they say, “How do you like your steak?” Then that’s it, and you tell them how you want your steak cooked. If you say no, they say, “Okay, there’s only steak, fries, and salad. How do you like your steak?”

It’s so simple and so delicious. Either everyone who works there is French or they are all great actors. I normally eat vegetables out of obligation, you know, being healthy. But there’s this salad that has horseradish dressing, it’s amazing. The first time I went, I wanted to ask for ketchup and the friend I was with was like, “No! You can’t ask for ketchup.” But I did. They don’t have ketchup. The dessert menu is where there’s some diversity. Beautiful, delicious desserts that are so good. There is this one that’s a raspberry meringue and then raspberry sherbert and then a layer of vanilla bean ice cream, and then it’s doubled. So there’s a layer of each two times. It’s just a beautiful tower of greatness.
