New York | Corima: For the Adventurous Foodie (1)🌟
Corima is a modern Mexican restaurant opened by alumni from the once super-popular Contra and Wild Air (which was one of my favorite downtown restaurants). 🌟 Nowadays, New York's fine dining scene is dominated by a wave of forward-thinking Korean restaurants, much like what French cuisine once did. So, I was super excited about Corima's arrival. I remember the buzz when I first visited Cosme and Oxomoco ten years ago—it felt like a revolution! Corima offers both tasting and à la carte menus. I went for the tasting chef’s counter, which is rare for a Michelin one-star restaurant at just 💰$110. 🏙️ Here’s what we had: 🌟Cod Bladder, Fried Pork Rinds, Bluefin Tuna, Beets Sea Bass Neck, Ramp, Chile/Sea Urchin Pudding, Foie Gras, Sonora Wheat, Cabeza Scallops, Green Asparagus, Wild Garlic, Hoja Santa Tiger’s Milk (Leche de Tigre) 🌺 Squid, Liver Pipian, Pork Rinds, Pataxtle (Corn Soup)/Oxtail Barbecue, Coriander Garlic Paste, Bay Leaf 🌟Cod, Macomber Radish, Chilmole (Pickled Chile Sauce) Mutton, Broccoli Rabe, White Asparagus Sourdough Corn Tortillas, Black Pepper Butter 🌺 For dessert, we had: 🌟Cactus Ice Cream, Sorrel, Kiwi/Glycerite Seaweed, Guava, Mango/Lemon with Fermented Chocolate Truffles #NewYork 🌃
