// This Week's Restaurant Reviews //

• NY Times: Frank Bruni gives three of four stars to Momofuku Ko. "Ko pares down stuffy atmospherics in a particularly thorough way. It wagers that for a younger generation more focused on food than on frippery, a scruffy setting, small discomforts and little tyrannies are acceptable — preferable, even — if they’re reflected in the price."
• Dining Briefs checks in on two Brooklyn neighborhood spots; Turqua Grill and The JakeWalk.
• New York Magazine: Adam Platt is off this week (again). The Underground Gourmet checks out The New French in his absence.
• The New York Sun: Paul Adams dines at I Sodi
• Bloomberg: Ryan Sutton visits Ko
• The New York Daily News: RG bestows a perfect rating to Eleven Madison Park. "The menu's bursting with sensational dishes: a peerless suckling pig confit capped off with a crackly strip of skin; a tuna tartare paved with a scene-stealing avocado cream, and a roasted loin of lamb with crispy wisps of artichoke."
