Herrold; david herrold; Heather Herrold Cc: jlvittor_ar@yahoo.com Subject: New York City Dear Family, Heather and I were talking about NYC and thought we should make some reservations for dinner for the entire family on Friday and Saturday night. I am trying to get reservations for the entire family at Le Cirque 2000 for Friday night at 7:30 but we will be very lucky to get in. Does anyone have other suggestions or an objection to Le Cirque? I am attaching a review of the restaurant. It is definitely a little "Haute" but I've heard it is also a lot of fun. Heather is looking into Italian restaurants for Saturday night, as well. This is just a suggestion but we were worried that we may have difficutly getting into a good restaurant if we wait too long. Also, I think I am just a little excited about the trip!

The Verdict The highest of the city's high-society restaurants. Tip Sheet One of New York's Best Nominated for best dessert and for best French restaurant, this aptly-named restaurant provides the city's most carnivalesque dinner experience. Can't Wait? Peruse Le Cirque 2000's blockbuster wine list now. Also Nominated for Best French Restaurant Daniel, Chanterelle, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin Also Nominated for Best Dessert Gramercy Tavern, Payard Patisserie, Jean Georges, Park Avenue Cafe The Scene Uber-designer Adam Tihany's (Jean Georges, among others) surreal interior evokes simultaneous thoughts of the Sistine Chapel and "The Jetsons." Purple, one-armed velvet chairs, neon tubing and stainless-steel sculptures compete for attention with the soaring, gilded ceilings, pre-Raphaelite murals and bejeweled patrons. Ringleader Sirio Maccioni oversees a front-of-house that has won praise for softening the haughty edge that marked the restaurant's pre-Y2K incarnation. The Food Still some of the most sublime haute cuisine around. Though longtime sous chef Sotta Kuhnn is now heading the kitchen=01*having succeeded Sylvain Portay (who took over for Daniel Boulud)=01*the luxurious, truffle-and-foie-gras-studded fare remains as sharp as ever. The current menu includes the long-running paupiette of sea bass with Barolo sauce and leeks, as well a sauteed veal chop with bacon-wrapped asparagus. Patrons can take decision-making out of the picture entirely with the five-course chef's degustation menu, a bargain at $90. More: on the Restaurants page.
