Marc Forgione

I find myself traveling quite often these days between Boston and New York for job interviews.  One of my favorite things about New York is the restaurant scene, which is constantly evolving.  One restaurant that happened to slip under my radar until recently is Marc Forgione in Tribeca.  Headed there for dinner last night and was immediately drawn in by the modern farmhouse design - raw wood tables sans tablecloths, lots of exposed brick and glass lantern lighting overhead.  The service was super attentive, but the true standout was the food.  I've heard that the menu changes quite often to showcase seasonal ingredients from the 29 year old stellar chef and restaurant namesake.  During my visit I thoroughly enjoyed the divine, hot from the oven potato rolls with caramelized onion butter, an incredibly tender veal appetizer, Casco Bay cod with littleneck clams and rutabaga fondant in a carrot emulsion and the affogato dessert with crunchies and nutella sauce.  Although I get the feeling anything you order here will be just as delicious.  Its no surprise that the restaurant just earned a 2010 Michelin star.
