Jose Andres: The Bazaar New York

So, when The Bazaar New York opened up, we worked SevenRooms hard to get a coveted ressie. This is the review of Jose Andres’ restaurant The Bazaar New York. Overview First and foremost, I love everything about Jose Andres. I…

File this one away under lifetime goals. If you make it to every one of these destinations, you’ve crushed it in life. Galapagos Islands Location: Ecuador…

Cafe Carmellini

I think we’ve had the Fifth Avenue hotel on our calendar to review for the past year. So we almost forgot about it, until we heard about the new Andrew Carmellini restaurant, eponymously named Cafe Carmellini.
