When my cool Mommy/Chris came to NYC for X-mas I insisted on dragging her to Perilla, the first top chef's restaurant- Harold Dieterle. We went and had a great time. It's a cute place in the West Village where the appetizers and desserts really shine (the entrees were a bit boring). I even tried to recreate their ginger brownies. And last night on Top Chef season 5 they had a brief clip of the contestants visiting Perilla and chatting with Harold. How cool!
I loved Perilla! Loved the street it was on, the low lights, you and the J for company. And, the food was good, too. Keep finding these places for me/us. :)
