"We’re pretty sure Drusie and Darr was literally built for special occasions. It’s in The Hermitage Hotel, a historic stunner of a space that looks like it was ripped straight from the pages of Gone With the Wind. Also, it’s from Jean-Georges, a big, fancy French chef. The massive mother-of-pearl chandeliers and soft gray curved banquettes help set the scene for potato cakes topped with smoked egg yolk and caviar, grilled octopus with smoked paprika aioli, and mushroom-crusted salmon with a lemon emulsion. And while it sounds low-key, the black truffle pizza is anything but. Dress it up with a bottle of bubbles and dig into that pizza, with your pinkie up." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
