Blaue Gans

Emmanuel proposed Blaue Gans for some real Austrian food. As it turns out, we have been to one of Kurt Gutenbrunner's other restaurants in NYC, Wallse, a few years ago. The food at Blaue Gans was less highbrow (more towards gutbürgerliche Küche, but that is definitely not a good description of the wonderful food here), which I strongly prefer.

We shared these great appetizers. Blood sausage (with wasabi):

Spätzle:

Trout pancake torte (or something):

Artichokes:

The various main courses. First of all, pheasant with foie gras and Brussels sprouts:

Boiled shank of some sort:

Some sort of schnitzel (Jäger-?):

We ended this decadent evening in style at the Brandy Library.

Definitely more reasons to go (back) to New York.

Another day, another lunch.


I guess we know better restaurants in NYC than Howard Karloff, on whose advise we came to this restaurant.

Back from the flu' -- part III

While Frans was sick, it was also the time of the most important social event in the so-called life of a graduate student in Operations Research: the Big Red Barn party.

Here are some pictures from the evening, but more importantly, here is a video of my favorite band that actually came and performed that night.
