Perry St

I've been dying to go back to Jean-George's Perry St for awhile now, and finally got the chance to do so last week. I really love how simple Jean-George keeps all his dishes, but manages to make them tasty and memorable. I would probably eat the butter poached lobster everyday if I could, but not very realistic...
