If you follow this blog, you’ve become aware of The Ribbon’s excellent and creative menus they pull together for a majority of holidays throughout the year. I’d go so far as to say you should look into The Ribbon’s plans first before you confirm ANY holiday dining outings. With all of the proposed rules and regulation being “imposed” on us all for the upcoming holiday, The Ribbon has gone the extra mile to ensure you’ll have a Happy Thanksgiving whether you dine at the restaurant or at home. We’ve had some exceptional holiday themed meals here including Halloween and Valentine’s Day to name only two!

Remember that line in Jerry McGuire - “You had me at hello” - well, the Oktoberfest / Halloween menu at The Ribbon (located at 20 W. 72nd St.on the UWS) “had me” at the “hello” of the first dish. Put a warm, soft pretzel on my plate and I’m yours for the rest of the evening. Pretzels - instead of the customary bread and butter - now that’s a German innovation that, by all rights, should conquer the world, even more so with the Ribbon’s specially-prepared mustard. After this, a plain-old dinner roll will never seem quite so satisfying.

The new single from Rachael Sage’s current album Character is a timely release in these days of Covid-19. Originally written as a meditation on gratitude relating to her recent cancer therapy and recovery, the lyrics have taken on additional meaning as our world has been turned upside down during the recent and ongoing pandemic.

High-end steakhouses are part of the fabric and soul of NYC. Nearly every Steakhouse outside of NYC has been inspired by our local legends to some degree. There are many famous steakhouses here, which makes competition stiff and requires owners and their staff to provide a 110% service and satisfaction level at all times. Those that don’t do so fall away quickly!
