Weekly Reads 22
I had the pleasure of a five-course tasting menu at Le Pigeon last night, and everything was great about it. As expected, right? That place consistently sits in my heart of hearts as one of my most favorite restaurants. It’s a splurge in every sense of the word since it’s so rich and indulgent, but that’s what treats are for. Highlights were a steak and octopus tartare and grilled pigeon and beef tongue with a huckleberry borscht. My mouth is watering as I write that.
We saw John Mayer last night. The new album is great, and the whole concept of the show was a really fun listening experience. He brought back the whole band, the trio, and a few acoustic sets. Seeing him doesn’t get old.
