Top Restaurant In New York

Ever been to New York? Well, if you have make sure you go to The Spotted Pig http://www.thespottedpig.com/ . The Gastro-Pub offers quality food. I have to say that i haven't tasted something this good in a very long time. The food is rich and the taste is savoring. Some of the specialities one must try are deviled eggs, devils on a horseback, and the apple walnut and cheddar salad. According to Robin Raisfield, "Mario Batali, a chef recommended by Jamie Oliver, and a cadre of high-profile music-business investors, A&R executive Ken Friedman opened The Spotted Pig in the 100-seat West Village premises formerly occupied by Le Zoo. But don’t call it a restaurant: The Pig, despite an Italian-accented menu crafted by English expat April Bloomfield, late of London’s esteemed River Cafe and fresh on the heels of a stint last summer at Chez Panisse, belongs to that British subgenre called the "gastro-pub," a bar serving simple, straightforward food. Bloomfield’s interpretation transcends the steak-and-kidney-pie norm with char-grilled calf's liver with onions, crispy pancetta and argula, or slow-roasted king salmon with organic Italian zucchini, basil and mint. Friedman, a Los Angeles native who says he’s enthralled by atmospheric New York taverns, justifies the "pub" part of the equation with a 100-bottle wine list, two cask-conditioned beers, and the compulsory Irish stout—an offering, no doubt, for bands that prefer to drink their dinner". This i thought was the perfect defintion of the Spotted Pig, the experience is amazing and the relaxed pub vibe makes ten times more enjoyable.
