Review: The Paramount Hotel NYC

by Desha Winborne May 6, 2013

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 235 W 46th Street New York, NY 10036

Cuisine: American

Items: 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 Cocktails and 2 Desserts

Best Dish: We enjoyed all the food immensely but our standout favorites were the tender juicy meatballs and the succulent Pot Roast Short ribs. Both dishes are serious must have for red meat lovers!

Overall: Though we loved the old decor the new look and menu are grand additions to the Paramount’s tradition of excellence. The space may be elegant and well designed the vibe is comfortable and casual. The new Paramount Bar & Grill is well on its way to becoming a destination space for theater goers and the after-work.

Restaurant Review: Cherrywood Kitchen

by Desha Winborne April 30, 2013

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 300 Spring Street

Cuisine: Refined Americana

Best Dish: You simply must try the Ribs as they are sensational! These aren’t your basic steakhouse ribs so don’t expect any bottled BBQ sauce. If you’re more into seafood the lobster tacos can not be beat.

Overall: An interesting foodie experience. No matter your palate Cherrywood has something that will satisfy. Even the simplest dishes here are given an individual spin. On your visit here expect great food and excellent service.
