Your dinner plans are made…
Tonight, Hotel Griffou, where we celebrated M.’s birthday with an extraordinary early-spring lamb-focused meal, is hosting what sounds like an equally extraordinary late-spring-in-New-York-focused meal. Dinner, priced at $65 (!!!), begins at 8 pm. Sadly, I can’t go, but you should. Chef Santos is one the city’s great up-and-coming chefs.
