F: Is for a Palace for dinning

Looking for the newest place to enjoy outdoor dinning? How about a palace? On June 5th, the Palace Gate opened its doors. Set in the Villard Mansion courtyard of The New York Palace, Palace Gate offers open-air surroundings under the stars in the heart of midtown Manhattan. Classic cocktails, modern libations and a menu of imaginative cuisine are set to entice. Suckling pig tacos, ($14) - with queso fresco, salsa roja and radish, tantalize. The Gilt burger, ($25) – adorned with aged cheddar, house-made pickles, crispy onion rings, and house cured bacon becomes a decedent meal. Dieting? Chilled Tuscan melon soup, ($14) with tarragon sorbet and honey funnel Cake may have you breaking that fast. A Peccorino cheesecake coated with apricot glaze and cracker crunch has my mouth watering. The prices may have you counting those hard earned pennies, but if you are up to feeling like a queen or king this may be the F.A.C.T. for you.
