Had a nice dinner last night with my cousin Brittany who is working at DKNY for the summer. We went to the new Sam Talbot restaurant Imperial No. 9. Imperial is located in the Mondrian SoHo hotel on Grand Street. Entering the hotel through a gorgeous hotel through a forest of trees, through the blue feathered lobby, and into the beautiful greenhouse/garden dining room is a bit surreal. The food is mostly fresh seafood styled tapas. I highly recommend the scallops.
