Haute Spot: Serafina Fabulous Grill 29 E. 61st St (between Madison & Park Ave) New York, NY 10021 (212)702-9898
Who said not to follow the crowd? Located on 29 E 61st, Serafina Fabulous Grill is nestled away on a rather quiet block but don’t be fooled by its location because this place tends to gets packed! The brain child of owners Vittorio Assaf & Fabio Granato, the restaurant is just one of their seven branded restaurants. The food speaks for itself with boasting a traditional Italian flare. On my journey to Serafina I happened to have the Chicken Pillared which was absolutely “to die for” followed by a heavenly slice of cheese cake for desert! I highly recommend Serafina Fabulous Grill at least once in your life and if you are a real foodie then you appreciate its offerings! I must also fore warn you to make sure you have enough coins in your wallet because the bill will run you a pretty penny.

New York, NY 10012
(212) 925-9322
Want to have a drink where everyone knows your name and you can get a sexy bite to eat? Not quite like the Cheers song but somewhat similar. Cafe Select is a perfect drop in an unannounced spot offering great drinks. Don’t forget about the spectacular food menu! On my visit I had the Buckwheat Crepe for starters, the Chicken Schnitzel for entree and a Stella Artois to wash it all down. Please be advised that you are able to burn off the calories in their secret bar with obtainable access via the kitchen.

HAUTE SPOT WORLD:
Robatayaki at Harbour-Plaza Hong Kong Hotel
What do fancy traditional Japanese barbecue & Hong Kong have in common? Robatayaki! This is certainly the type of place that you go to once only to leave feeling like you have won the lottery afterwards. Robatayaki features an array of surf (including king crab legs, fresh cod, lobster and mussels) and turf (prime US sirloin and Kobe beef) as well as a splendid selection of vegetables and fresh sushi and sashimi. On my visit I had most divine serving of Kobe beef followed by some other delicacies that were still alive, mind you, but freshness is their benchmark and I had no complaints. So if you are ever in Hong Kong and are looking to eat while over looking the Kowloon waterfront, drop by Robatayaki for a laugh and fresh feeling of winning lotto ticket holder. Kemol Taylor
