Gabriel Kreuther—our most recent French dinner on my SO’s birthday and they showered us with free desserts + chocolate (I didn’t know GK runs a chocolatier too), along with just amazing French food

I second GK, one of the most detailed and delicious meals I've ever had. Service is superb. Not sure if he's still there but they have/had a young Somm who blew my dad and I away with his knowledge.

Le Bernadin, La Grenouille , Le Cocou - these used to be my favorite prior to the pandemic. Not been there in a while, damn now I need to look these up. thanks D :)

Agree with la grenouille-it’s an institution.

Buvette in the west village is spectacular. Bistro style, unpretentious, killer cocktails too.

Seconding Gabriel Kreuther for something a bit higher end/haute cuisine. It feels like an experience.

Le Veau D’Or feels like a throwback. Classic French food and service. Always a fun experience.

Dirty French is fun as hell too.

Can’t say enough about Le Bernardin for french Mediterranean

Cafe d’Alsace, Balthazar, Tartine, Buvette, and Daniel boulud’s restaurants are all wonderful as well

Hey sharks!

I have prior experience of React+AWS (2yrs)
Then joined an org where I was bound to work on plain js and outdated libs (1 yr)
I gave numerous interviews.
Common feedback : You're very strong in Js but seems like you're not day to day coding in React (which is absolutely true).
In current org work pressure is quite much, tough to practice seperately. (Theoretical knowledge of react is good, but need practical knowledge)
Requested my org to assign me react proj, they didnt.
Plz help!

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day.

Any recommendations?
