It’s nice knowing people who know people who can hook you up with last minute prime time reservations at the most sought after restaurants in the city. I am one lucky chunky girl that my friends want me to eat so well.
Coqueta is a new Michael Chiarello restaurant that has received 3 1/2 stars from Michael Bauer for good reason. There’s a lot of thought that goes into each simple yet sophisticated plate/bite. My mouth waters as I reminisce of the Pluma. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in the city now. I’m told that the Guacho and the cheesecake bites are a must.
