A Week Later and Still Savoring (1)🌟

🌿🌟How can there be such delicious and beautiful meals! 🍔 With a "let's give it a try" attitude, I successfully walked into Smithereens, a place I had bookmarked for a long time. I really enjoyed sitting at the bar table and watching the chefs bustling around. 🌿🌟 Even without the drama of Hell's Kitchen, at least I didn't feel bored eating alone.🥱 The Japanese mackerel was astonishing from the very first bite. I've forgotten what the green stuff was, but I remember the amazing freshness from the blend of three ingredients with different flavors and textures. The beans with red shrimp, squid, and sea urchin were a bit of a miss🤏. I was torn between this and buri when ordering. 🌿🌟 Although the waiter strongly recommended buri, saying it was his personal favorite, and I also liked the "white and something bubbly🍷" he paired for me... my sea urchin-loving self still went for it without thinking. As a result, the broth was a bit too salty that day, and even adding anadama bread couldn't balance it. In the end, the waiter kindly refunded me for the dish. #NewYork 🌇🌟
