New & Noteworthy (Week of March 9)
I struggle this week to comment on dining out given the COVID-19 outbreak, mainly because every sentence I have written (and deleted) sound so frivolous. But then I remember I always turn towards food for solace and enrichment. This week I am adding Paisley, a Indian restaurant that opened in Tribeca last month. There has been very little written about it but as I have enjoyed the chef’s fare at Chola and Tamarind, I am curious.
Be kind; be good; be considerate.
