Dinner Bells

Filed under: Dining

I've personally always loved the idea that years ago on the farm the ringing of the dinner bell is what would call in the kids from the yard to eat, and whether these days you have a big group to summon together or just like the nostalgic decor value of a nice bell, this set of copper dinner bells will make a sweet addition to your kitchen. The set includes 3 brass bells in 3 shapes and 3 colors: and copper-finished onion bell, a silver-finished tulip bell, and a gold-finished trumpet bell. $325

Adam Platt, the restaurant critic for New York Magazine, has just put together a list of the ten most decadent dishes available in New York City. With short descriptions provided, we can assume that the dishes probably speak for themselves once they're on your plate. They include:

Foie Gras Shabu Shabu, Masa
Roast Suckling Pig, Eleven Madison Park
Kobe Beef, L'Atelier De Joël Rubochon
Truffled Gnudi, Dona
Chicken Kiev With Foie Gras Sauce, Picholine
Caviar Pasta, (Royal Osetra Caviar on Tagliolini With Bacon Carbonara Sauce), Le Bernardin
Duck and Foie Gras Meatballs, A Voce
Butter Poached Lobster, Per Se
The Chocolate Dessert Tasting, Del Posto
Iranian Special Reserve Caviar With Buckwheat Blini, The Russian Tea Room

If you're planning on visiting the city this year, any one of these will be worth the trip, although you'll probably enjoy it even more if your New Year's resolution didn't involve the word "diet."

Luxury Hotels Feed Hungry Fliers

Fly commercial across the country and starvation may set in. While some airlines sell fairly decent food they often run out and airport food can be a hit-or-miss proposition at best. Luxury hotels are now stepping in to fill the gap. The AP reports on a variety of food-to-go options. The Ritz-Carlton hotels now offer "Flight Bites," sandwiches and light fare that can be ordered off the room service menu, packed and ready to go. The Peninsula Beverly Hills sells platters like the ones shown here that come in cardboard boxes and guests at Hotel Plaza Athene in New York can order from their "Goodies to Go" menu. It's a good strategy to build brand loyalty and inexpensive word-of-mouth when the hungry passenger next to you asks where you got the lovely meal you are tucking in.
