On Tuesday evening, Buzz readers were invited to the opening night of Park Avenue Winter, the latest incarnation of the seasonally changing Upper East Side restaurant. The decor, designed once again by the wunderkinds over at AvroKO, is now all winter white, with bare trees and lighting fixtures that resemble icicles.
Continuing the winter wonderland theme is a special "white menu" featuring all-white dishes like Nantucket bay scallops with baby gnocchi and a dessert of coconut angel food cake with caramel panna cotta and coconut-curry sorbet. If monochromatic cuisine isn't your thing, you'll also find more colorful New American fare on chef Craig Koketsu's seasonal menu, including family-style dishes for "gatherings" of two or more, such as live Maine lobsters ($45 per person), Châteaubriand ($44 per person) and rack of lamb ($37 per person).
