My sister-in-law, Cecilia Nadres, got a big promotion at the United Nations. She’s now part of the professional staff, which for those of you who aren’t familiar with the UN system, means a lot in terms of benefits such as paid home leave, repatriation of home effects, education grants, etc. Anyway, Marita and I, and Cecilia’s husband Rene celebrated this great milestone at – where else – a restaurant. This time, it was at the City Hall restaurant on Duane Street in downtown NYC.
Rene and I had their surf and turf, which was filet mignon and crab cake, served with a bearnaise and green peppercorn sauce. I especially liked the baby spinach that came with it. Other dishes that our party had were crispy fried oysters with three dipping sauces (cocktail, mustard mayo, and basil) and a burger. We finished with a rich chocolate dessert and some cookies. A well-deserved celebratory meal for Cecilia . . .
