I wanted to start the sixth month of the year with my being a food critic for all the restaurants that we visit. I know, I should have started this at the beginning of the year. Time goes so fast sometimes, that before we know it, the year is over. So here is my first foodie of the year. And what better way than to start with this one:

Just this past Monday, I had the honor of meeting Ralph Lauren at his new restaurant, The Polo Bar in New York City. It was a night that will never be forgotten. Yes, you heard me right. We met The Man, Ralph Lauren! (In case you don’t know, Ralph Lauren is an American clothing designer and is known all over the world for his classic fashion designs).  I was stunned and speechless. And thankfully, I had my Ralph Lauren floral dress on too. There are no photographs to show because it’s highly disrespectful to take photographs with an iconic designer. What I have is the memory. We couldn’t stop talking about it. It was part of our conversation for days.

This exclusive eatery, by reservation only, is his first New York City restaurant. Zagat rated, “A Midtown American is replete with private-club touches, including a fireplace and equestrian-themed art. In the dining room, the menu highlights classic fare, while an upstairs bar offers craft beers, cocktails and snacks.”

We dined on their classic cheeseburger with bacon, broccolini and a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream sundae for dessert. We loved every bite of it. The food was an A+ and the service was even better.

Reservations are hard to get. They are only open for dinner and once you’re in, you’ll feel part of an exclusive club.

Just lovely.

Love,
Rose
