In other news, Bodega Rita’s at CDY is opening on the 23rd (watch out for our Instagram preview tomorrow) and we hope you saw our visit to Sager and Wilde’s Fare last week too – if not, check out our new previews section on Instagram. Lastly, if you feel like celebrating Thanksgiving, be sure to check out our roundup: any excuse for a party, right? Enjoy!

| | | Caractere | | | Come Hungry | | | The return of tasting menus | | | Having fallen out of favour with the rise (and rise) of small plates, we’ve got a feeling that tasting menus might be making a comeback. Som saa have just announced they’re launching one (as well as taking reservations – woop!), W’s latest Dining Series is a seven-courser with Ben Murphy, and Caractère’s create-your-own tasting menu concept (pick a dish from each of their signature traits) has officially got us intrigued. And for a real blow out? Watch out for the 10 course tasting menu at Carlo Scotto’s Xier, opening early 2019.
