My friends and I went to eat at Cognac East, the new restaurant addition from Cognac on west 55th street and Broadway.
Cognac is pretty little French Brasserie located on Lexington and 70th street. We sat right at the table you see by the window in this photo.
The special that night was a seafood-chicken combination Paella which we ordered as a shared appetizer and another order of it as one of our friend's main dish. If they still have it in the menu, please try it. It's not French, it's the special for the day; but he does it well.
I ordered their Cognac chicken above.
The steak above was excellent said one of our friends.
I wish I had ordered the seared foie gras above. Our friend loved it. She had it as her main course. I think when I go back (which I certainly will do, I would also make this as my main course).
Don't miss the soufflé with pistachio creme anglais that you pour in the center. First you open it up in the center with your spoon, and then you pour the sauce in. I learned to eat it this way from Julia Child!
And we had a treat that evening, there were two men that came with a trombone and guitar to sing to us. Their music style and voice was so 20s and 30s. We all had a good time! Good food! Good atmosphere and great friends! A unique evening in NYC! It was a surprise. I hope they continue to have some live entertainment.
