"Truffle-stuffed roast chicken isn’t exactly an everyday dish, but The Restaurant At The NoMad isn’t an everyday restaurant. This is the best place for a celebration in the whole city because, in addition to the excellent food, you feel like you’re in a private club where the bathrooms are in a downstairs bank vault and cocktails are served in golden skulls. Yes, it’s over-the-top, but it never feels particularly pretentious or annoying. You’re having too much fun drinking from that skull anyway." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
