The opening of the High Line in 2009 coincided with the early days of our dating history, and so it made for a great after-work date. We walked from Gansevoort Street to 20th St, enjoying the balmy air and working up our appetites. When we descended at 20th St & 10th Ave, we stumbled across Cookshop which seemed like an ideal place to satiate our hunger... Or so it would have been had we had reservations.This past weekend, two years later, we finally returned to Cookshop to celebrate our 2-year anniversary and reminisce on those first shared moments.
Here's what we had on this special night:
Kumamoto Oysters
***
Montauk squid, pickled shishito peppers, yukon gold potatoes, parsley & harissa aioli
***
Spinach, crispy onions, soft farm egg, bacon & sherry vinaigrette
***
Golden Wreckfish, wilted escarole, black olives, lemon, anchovy, toasted almond sauce
***
Idaho Potato Gnocchi artichokes, spinach, braised leeks, royal trumpet mushrooms & ricotta
***
Caramelized banana bread pudding with bourbon ice cream

A very creative and unusual menu. Surprised you had room for dessert!
