Sayonara Autumn!

The calendar says we've still got a couple of weeks till the start of winter (and the warm temps today make the cold weather seem months away), but the fact is, Old Man Winter will be here before we know it. The good news is, that also means the arrival of restaurant Park Avenue Winter, which has shed its autumnal cloak in favor of clean whites in the dining room and comfort foods in the kitchen. Chef Craig Kotesu has many succulent delights in store for patrons, including the seared scallop sandwich at left, stout-braised lamb shank, aged cheddar polenta & green apples and John Dory with black truffles.

Suddenly, winter doesn't sound all that bad.
