Brunch by Central Park 🥰 | A (Nearly) Truffle-tastic Story

So I tried this gorgeous Italian spot right next to Central Park for brunch! When I asked the server for recommendations, he mentioned a special white truffle pasta. As someone who’s never tried white truffles 🍄, I just assumed it was priced like black truffles… silly me! Luckily — and bless this sweet Italian waiter — he circled back to confirm the order and casually mentioned the price. Over $300?! 😱 Let’s just say my love for truffles has its limits 😅 I quickly switched to another main, thanks to his honesty! But you know what? The food turned out to be SO much better than I expected! I ordered the squid ink seafood pasta — it looked a little mysterious, but wow, it was incredibly fragrant and delicious 🦑🍝 The day we went was crazy windy 💨, so we only managed to snap a few quick photos. The lighting wasn’t great — had to fully rely on filters to make it Instagram-worthy 📸✨ 📍 The Leopard at des Artistes Right by Central Park — perfect for a classy yet cozy vibe. A mix of drama and deliciousness — just like a true NYC story 😉 #NYCBrunch #CentralParkEats #NYCFood #ItalianInNYC #RelaxingBrunch #NYCLife
