When Pat and I got hitched, one of the places we registered was www.foodieregistry.com. It was practically tailor-made for two people who a) already got rid of vast quantities of stuff when we moved to New York, and STILL have more things than places to put them, and b) eat out constantly in the Big Apple.
My lovely friends Kirsten and Matt gave us a certificate to Pera Mediterranean Brasserie, in Midtown. Our meze sampler had lots of intriguing options, like a spicy beef tartar, fresh-tasting stuffed grape leaves, and a flavorful fish spread. My hanger steak entree was just what this carnivore had been hungering for (and the leftovers were just as satisfying the next day in a wrap with spinach and cheese). Pat found some elements of his mixed grilled meats (heavy on lamb, for which he is a fiend) to be better than others.
I must protest a little about the drinks. Pat's cocktail should have been a hell of a lot more memorable for $14, and my little bottle of tonic water should not have cost $5.
