Big fan of WD-50. Just went to a similar place in Scottsdale, Arizona called Posh. Many unusual cooking techniques - freezing, foams, sous vide - and very odd food pairings like Hamachi with a watermelon gelee and chives, and but it all works. The food tastes great, not just showing off the technique.

I took some clients to Abe & Arthurs tonight. I guess this is the new, hot, trendy restaurant in NYC. Food was decent and service was very good. It's in the space where Lotus used to be. I'm not a fan of the Meet Packing District anymore (too bridge and tunnel nowadays), but this place has definitely brought back some of the old vibe to that neighborhood. Was good to see.
If you haven't been, I would recommend trying it. Not cheap, but good fun.

A very good place. Went a few days ago. Had the Jumbo lump blue crab cakes. Not the best but still decent. I urge all you New Yorkers to try this place out.

I'm I the only one that can't stop thinking about WD-40 when I think about/read about the restraunt with the similar name? Hey Mr. Ad man, what's your take on that name? Good idea? Bad idea?

The name is derived from the Chef/ Owner's initials and the address. But I too, always think WD-40.
