One of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve yet to have in New York has got to be my most recent trip to Michelin star Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s ABC Kitchen. I’ve been long wanting to try ABC Kitchen but getting reservations are a nightmare but a quick pop in lunch with no reservations did the trick this time!
From the decor, cutlery, plates, lights to the mouth-watering innovative organic-mad food, every single detail of ABC Kitchen was perfection. The restaurant offers a ‘farm-to-table’ menu free from pesticides, insecticides, antibiotics, hormones and is GMO-free. Everything on the menu is humanely sourced from regional farmers and fair trade cooperatives.
The restaurant is a celebrity sighting hotspot along with your New York A-listers and fashionistas.
Here’s what we had: for starters- the roasted beets with house made yogurt, roasted carrot and avocado salad, and for our entrees, the asparagus, bacon, ricotta, parmesan and black pepper pizza and the grilled chicken pail lard with sugar snaps, asparagus and chili lime vinaigrette.

Recommendations: Book at least a month in advance and if you can try a little bit of everything on the menu. It is well worth it!
