Night Out at Walden

By Julie 

On Wednesday I shared my outfit from my night out in Brooklyn (pathetic how I make it sound like a major journey or accomplishment!), but today I want to talk about the amazing food. I was invited to Walden for a Planned Parenthood Benefit Dinner hosted by resident-Brooklynite, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Maggie was adorable and is seriously ready to pop... she's most definitely on baby watch!

Here are a few highlights from the delicious 5-course tasting menu and wine pairing.


Festive condoms and champagne-- a dangerous combo ; )


Cherrystone Clam with cream, juniper and watercress/ Ch. Roquefort Cotes de Provence Rose

Squid with kumquat, olive and arugala/ Kir- Yianni Anyndeon Rose 

Market Salad with Chrysanthemum, sorrel and lavender/ Camas Pinot Noir Rose

Scallop with carrot, peas and ramps/ Raffault Chinon Rose

Olive Oil Cake with saffron, pistachio and pomegranate

A big thank you to the best date in town, my darling friend Jenna for the lovely invite!

Friday couldn't have come soon enough, right? Any fun plans this weekend??
