The Wandering Eater

For strange reasons, I wanted to try Café Gray‘s food since well, it’s very close to campus in Time Warner Center, and people have talked about Chef Gray Kunz’s greatness back in the days of Lespinasse (click here for the review of Lespinasse on the NY Times by Ruth Reichl back in 1998, for the inquiring mind). Being the curious person that I am of Mr. Kunz’s food and the recent Times article mentioned that they are serving lunch again, I managed to splurge here.

As I arrived to Café Gray, a woman maître d’ was waiting at the entrance, welcoming me and walked down the long corridor leading to the head maître d’ to check on my reservation and table. As we proceeded, this café is actually broken down into three separate rooms: a bar (which was the first room you pass by), the main dining area where the open kitchen is located and there’s another room on the right where it’s not opened yet since there aren’t that many diners at this time, since it was lunch at 12:30.
