Aldea - January 8, 2011

Hailed by the overinclusive Michelin with an often questionable taste (outside its own territory – namely, France) and revered by the dining community of New York suffering from a queer mass psychology, Aldea would not have merited my weekly allotments of restaurant dining for, after all, I have only one stomach. However, I like to be surprised, challenged and, if possible, blown away once in a while, so that my life will not simply be about me and me and me – I utterly bore myself sometimes. Therefore, I followed someone else’ advice, instead of my own, and ended up in the private room on the second floor dining room of Aldea, which resembled uncannily like a doctor’s sitting room on the Upper East Side.
