Also, have take-out food with mushrooms by the weight. so amazing! any rec's would be great. Thanks in advance Tue Oct 21 18:49:00 -0700 2008 18282 Bernke 1 4120019 I always order the pappardelle w/mushroom ragu at Crispo (a special that's always on the menu). Craft has great mushrooms as well. Tue Oct 21 18:58:49 -0700 2008 4119987 10216 Lucia 2 4120194 Ditto Craft. I'd also add in Gramercy Tavern's mushroom ravioli. Tue Oct 21 20:35:22 -0700 2008 4120019 10936 kathryn 2 4120963 BiCE's veal and musroom ravioli with a mushroom sauce...INCREDIBLE! Wed Oct 22 08:24:40 -0700 2008 4120019 232521 italianagambino 2 4122855 thanks all! will have to try craft Wed Oct 22 20:24:45 -0700 2008 4120019 18282 Bernke 1 4120202 Third Craft! The Garganelli with Funghi Trifolati at Babbo is awesome! There is a mushroom festival going on at Brasserie 8 1/2. I haven't tried so I can't attest to its quality, but thought you might be interested. http://www.patinagroup.com/cgi-bin/menu.cgi?url=http://www.patinagroup.com/east/menu/mushroomfestival/brasserie8.swf&LinkName=Brasserie%208%20%bd Edit: Also forgot. It is matsutake season now. A lot of Japanese restaurants will have matsutake, like grilled fresh matsutake at Aburiya, rice with matsutake in clay pot, dobin mushi with matsutake, etc. It's heaven! Tue Oct 21 20:41:38 -0700 2008 4119987 54254 kobetobiko 1 4121467 I agree with Craft but a little more specifically, Craft Steak has some amazing mushroom sides (hen of the woods was fantastic when had it a while back). Wed Oct 22 11:08:16 -0700 2008 4119987 103359 badabingdesi 1 4122908 There is a great dish I've seen served in several restaurants recently, polenta with a fricasse of wild mushrooms. Scarpetta serves it, as well as Alto on East 53rd. Both are wonderfully rich and satisfying. Wed Oct 22 20:54:46 -0700 2008 4119987 127023 faithiepie 2 4125605 all great. anything that's more take-out, easy to grab thats great. There's a place in LA if anyone is familar, Joan's on third that has an awesome mushroom mix. Something like that.
