It was another cold Monday evening when I met my friend in the TriBeCa area (not a soul around) at the relatively new French brasserie Fouquet. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the new TriBeCa hotel, Hotel Barriere Fouquet, and marks the 11th Fouquet location. The hotel is also home to the speak-easy-inspired Bar Titsou and a second casual dining space, Par Ici Cafe.
Part of the tour’s fun was our visit to the Estacion Pinguinos de Magallanes. The Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) is a South American penguin bred in coastal Patagonia, Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands, with some migrating to Brazil and Uruguay. They appear as far north as Espirito Santo and are the most numerous Spheniscus penguins.
At Pekarna NYC, I ordered a fresh fabulous, salad topped with grilled chicken, sesame seeds, golden raisins, Calabrian chilies, scallions, and almond sauce.
