Petrossian @ New York City

Living or visiting New York City, one must visit Petrossian at The Alwyn Court; it is a must experience especially during holiday season.

The Alwyn Court is a 12-story apartment building, built between 1907 and 1909, designed by Harde & Short in French Renaissance style, with elaborate terra-cotta ornamentation in the Francis I style covering the entire facade. It is a distinctive building, so much to see and take in.

Petrossian is introducing "The Petrossian Fleur de Vers" - it is a mixed drink with caviar powder. You have to sink the "Titanic Caviar" to get the aroma and flavor of the drink. I was skeptical about it but it was really a sensational drink (recipe is below)

I was sipping the drink with good friend from IN New York magazine's Anna Ratman .... glorious caviar hor d'oeuvres were passing around and later Caviar white chocolate! The art deco interior always elegant, I found the bar area was intimate.

In New York City, you want caviar, Petrossian would be the place to go!
