Bohemian NYC: The Best Restaurant of All Time

Big Apple Bites

Wait, what? The best restaurant of all time? Yes, you heard that right. Bohemian NYC has effortlessly jumped to the top of my restaurant list. Nat took me to Bohemian on my birthday last week and I have never been so pleased, satiated, and impressed by a restaurant. Type of food? I'm not sure that there is one word to describe the "genre" of food served at Bohemian. It is most definitely Japanese, but not your typical Japanese sushi spot. It is secretly located behind a Japanese butcher shop, so yes, the meat will blow your mind. Japanese Premium Beef is unforgettable, and the Washu-gyu beef at Bohemian was just that.
The tone of the restaurant is set from the start. Not just anyone can make a reservation at Bohemian. Their phone number is secret and cannot be found on the internet. Thus, the only way to make a reservation is via someone who has made a reservation and eaten at Bohemian before. Doesn't that make you want to eat here even more? Words can't explain how delicious, epic, juicy, decadent, and perfect the food was. If you are lucky enough to eat at Bohemian, make sure to savor every bite...
You ring a doorbell to enter the restaurant and are greeted by a relaxing, zen "living room" where you comfortably spend your meal with the nicest waiters in town.

The tasting menu is recommended (and shockingly well-priced), but if you don't have a full two hours, ordering off the regular menu is superb as well.
Drinks
Type C
Similar to a lemon drop...but the best one you've ever tasted.

Mint Gold
Bourbon, fresh mint, fresh lime juice, homemade ginger syrup, club soda, and garnished with candied ginger. Simply incredible.

Starters
Farmer's Fresh Vegetable Fondue with Chive, Cream Cheese Sauce
Fresh and perfect.

Washu-Beef Short Rib Sashimi with Wasabi & Garlic Soy Sauce
I never knew raw beef could taste this amazing.

Entrees
Bohemian's Washu-Beef Mini Burgers with Pecorino Cheese, Sauteed Onions, Semi-dried Tomatoes, and Aioli Mayonnaise and Ketchup
My favorite dish of the night...party in my mouth after every bite.

Pan Roasted Branzini with Farmer's Seasonal Vegetables
Nothing short of delicious.
