Tamarind Tribeca w/ Maggie

Restaurant Week seemed like a special yearly event a decade ago, but it seems like every week it's restaurant week somewhere in the city. No matter, we decided to treat ourselves to a special lunch at Tamarind today. With Maggie's gluten free restrictions, there's almost no better food than Indian. Good thing we both love it so much. The restaurant is uber fancy and serene without being pretentious. It felt like we stepped into a spa. And as soon as we sat down, we were instantly whisked away from our respective hectic schedules and it truly felt like a wee lunch vacation! Too bad it had to end. The food was lovely and the portions more than ample. It was also fun that we could choose 4 items - so even between the 2 of us, we almost tried the entire lunch menu.
