Dining

Item Description

Amazing dinner auction package!!!!!!  Last year's winner said that "this was one of the best experiences we have ever had - it matched any fine restaurant in Europe where we have dined - the food and service were outstanding."

The gift certificate is for a six course dinner for two with wine pairings at Restaurant Marc Forgione.  Forgione has created a straightforward American style with bold flavors and playful touches. He manipulates citrus, heat and fresh herbs to create maximum flavor; and his sophisticated dishes blend familiar elements with precise technique. Menus change frequently to showcase fresh ingredients and new twists on seasonal American favorites.

According to Zagat ... This TriBeCa “charmer” from “talented” Iron Chef Marc Forgione “excels in every way” with “superlative” New American cooking and “warm”, “knowledgeable” service in a “rustic” space with “romantic” vibes; it’s usually “mobbed” despite “platinum-card” pricing, so reservations are a foregone conclusion.

The restaurant's location was originally built in late 1800’s as a butter warehouse. Primarily used for the storage of butter, the building was a big part of the Washington Street Market, which thrived downtown for decades. The butter would make its way from New Jersey in 100# blocks to Reade Street, from there it would be hoisted to the second floor where a saw would cut the large blocks down into smaller pieces for households. The history of the building, which has many of the components in tact, is amazing … just as amazing as the food.
