Weekly A to Z, April 1st.

The where did March go? one.

Another wonderfully productive week. You can catch up with my visit to Dinner and Resonance from last week here. #invited

I finally was able to visit Mott 32 on Tuesday evening. Be sure to order the Australian Wagyu beef puffs and the shredded 42-day Peking duck salad, and get ready for incredible views, as well as an excellent playlist (at least among the elder millennial crowd). You can check out the experience here. #invited

Also, a few deliveries — perfect chicken sandwiches from Mohalla, a trio of frozen goodies from Prime Gourmet (try and stop eating the lasagne), and Go Greek also sent over their Ramadan lazy cake. #gifted

A big week for restaurant awards — UK and Ireland Michelin, James Beard nominees, and the World’s 50 Best Asia — all recently took place. Did you have any favorites win or be awarded?

What were my favorite dishes in March? So glad you asked! From Chef Gabriela, a brilliant ceviche from her pop-up at BOCA, from Dinner, the meat fruit (honestly, I could eat it every day), and the humble Kabak Tatlisi from Tirmis at the Bayou Villas in Antalya.

This weekend? Over to visit JA Hatta resort with Poppy!

Next week? Checking out City Social and the new Notte night brunch at Mare by Bussola. Also, an overdue catch-up with Rowan at Coquely.
