After a very enjoyable but COLD tour in the back of a Mini convertible we had lunch at Nopalito. Chips and salsa with cotija cheese, and sweet potato taquito thingies. Corrina had carnitas tacos, I had chicken mole and Jessica had fish tacos, I think? I can't even remember what we did for dessert. Candy?
Dinner at State Bird. So much fun: we had a million things so I may miss a couple:
cucumbers with rosemary vinaigrette
egg custard with kim chee and uni ( I was scared of uni but it was OK)
smoked trout dip with avocados and housemade potato chips
oysters on the shell
(tiny) toast with goat cheese and summer squash
avocado with lime-pickled kale
green beans with aioili and lime pickle (sleeper hit)
fried rice with morels, porcini and ramps (more like a risotto)
hearts of palm salad with cucumbers, avocado and crispy quinoa
nectarines with whipped crescenza cheese and basil oil (so good we ordered a second)
pork belly with stone fruits
burrata with garlic bread (totally superfluous)
steak tartare "poke"
cherry granita with tapioca and smoked tea gelee (granita was bland, gelee was TERRIBLE. Like licking a charcoal grill)
Tres leches with orange blossom, whipped cream cheese and blackberry compote
Strawberry ice cream sandwiches with pecorino, black pepper and pecorino (the real standout. We could have skipped the other two desserts and had three of these).
What a great meal!
