The NoMad (NYC, NY)

New York City is filled with thousands of restaurants, but a must try is "The NoMad."

Located at the NoMad hotel is one of the best continental restaurants in Manhattan. The NoMad Hotel is located on 1170 Broadway and 28th street, right in the heart of the historic NoMad Neighborhood (North of Madison Square Park.) The interior makes you feel like your back in time, to old Europe. 

RECOMMENDATIONS

APPETIZERS: If you're in the mood for fish, try the fluke. The fluke is marinated with sorrel, amaranth and comes with a side of mushrooms. It lays on a bed of tomatoes and greens. If your not a big fluke fan, then try the tuna. The Tuna is a tuna tartare with lemon, black olives and tomatoes. One interesting thing about the tuna, is that it's served on its own bone! The tartare is gently punctured through the bone, and will slide in a smooth motion into your mouth. Another appetizer I recommend is the King Crab Tagliatelle. I'm not that big of a pasta fan, but this dish blew me away! It was savory lemon mixed with Buttery Alaskan King Crab with a hint of black pepper. You should also try the lamb. Its glazed with romaine lettuce, cumin and yogurt. It was cooked amazingly and was very juicy. 

MAIN COURSES:

If you want something on the lighter side, go with the lobster. The lobster is poached and served with zucchini, summer beans and vegetable bisque. The lobster is out of the shell and comes in three pieces. The lobster bursts with flavor, and the vegetables balance with amount of meat. If you want something more to the heavy side, but not too heavy, I strongly recommend the suckling pig. The pig is served with a confit, with cherries, arugula and bacon marmalade. The skin on the pig is nice and crispy, and its so moist inside. The cherries give the pig a nice sweet taste, but not too sweet so that the flavors of the cherries aren't overpowering. At NoMad, there is an option for a meal for two, which is a roasted chicken. The Chicken comes with Foie Gras, Black Truffel and Brioche. It's a huge entree, even for two people, so bring your appetite!
