Today we learned that the Swedes have a really good thing going.

We spent the day working up an appetite walking around TriBeCa and Soho waiting for George to finish some work so we could meet up for dinner.

The Rough Guide listed Aquavit and we were immediatly interested. How could we resist traditional Scandinavian food? We would have been put off by the price of the full prix fixe course downstairs but the guide pointed us in the direction of the more accesible service upstairs. We learned what a Wallenbergare is (a delicious intersection of lamb and cream, essentially) and found way too much pleasure in gravlax, pickled herring, and lingonberry-laced meatballs. It wasn’t cheap but there is no question that we got a meal worth the money.
