The last time “The Blondes” were in New York we went to Nobu 57 with our handsome dates and a few other friends. Nobu 57 is a big lively restaurant with a fun atmosphere — it’s a great place to dine with a fun foursome or more. The food is delicious and the people watching is pretty yummy too.
On my last visit we were seated at a table between Alec Baldwin and company, and Kelsey Grammer and company. I felt a little nervous sitting in-between these two: Mr. Baldwin is one of the most liberal guys in Hollywood and Mr. Grammer is one of the most conservative — both are very outspoken. The two met in the middle (right by our table), shook hands, and had a friendly conversation — politics were clearly not on the menu. Celebrities like dining at Nobu because they are “protected” from the public. I’ve noticed a “big guy” that stands inconspicuously near the tables of the “known” to intercede if a fan deigns to interrupt the star’s dinner for a picture or an autograph.
The real star at Nobu however, is the food — Japanese with a South American influence. Some of my favorite dishes are the tacos (especially the lobster and the king crab), the Yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno, the Black Cod with miso, and any fresh vegetable they are serving with the jalapeno dressing. The service is just right — they are always there when you need them but never in the way. If you are overwhelmed by the menu just trust your server. Bonapeti!
