Taking your significant other to the ballet?
Bar Boulud is the perfect
pre theater bite. Cozy up to the bar with your honey, or better yet, grab a table outside, but
wherever you decide to rest your rump, make sure you order the
charcuterie plate. Not to be missed are the head-cheese terrine, the coarse
pâté grand-
père (
foie gras, pork, port), and Daniel's home-style dry sausage. It is accompanied by a generous spread of relishes and a helping of warm, perfectly crusted bread. Add a nice bottle of burgundy and you'll be immediately transported back to that Parisian cafe you promised you'd someday return to.
Main courses can be glossed over, especially if you plan on making it through Act 2 of Swan Lake. However, if you still have room, a sampling of their
boudin should do the trick. Smooth and unbelievably rich, they almost distract from the sumptuous clouds of lightly
truffled mashed potatoes (with the
blanc) or the delightfully sweet
caramelized apple puree with the
noir. Need a jolt of
caffeine pre-theater? Get a double dose with dark chocolate tart.
