The reason for the season was the Twitter-based #twasting hosted by the lovely Michele Bosc (aka @MBosc), Director of Marketing at Chateau des Charmes… more on that [...]
Madangsui 35 West 35th Street New York, NY 212-564-9333 A few weeks before heading to NYC my friend Devon sent me a link to this review of Madangsui in the NY Times. I’m all for Korean BBQ so quickly put it on our agenda for our NYC “date” night. Truth be told my experience with [...]
