We chose Boucherie on Park Avenue in Gramercy Park as they had semi-outdoor seating with glass stanchions dividing the tables. I say semi, as they had 2-tops half in and out of the cool air-conditioned restaurant. We chose one of those.
Service was attentive with the server as happy as we were to be there. Like last time, we ordered the 6-0unce hand-formed dry-aged Pat LaFrieda blend burger ($12) topped with caramelized onions, aged gruyère, sliced tomato and lettuce on a brioche bun. Crunchy on the outside, steamy in fries accompanied that burger. One bite as like a bit of heaven, realizing that the city had begun to open.
Phase 2 opening was a game-changer. As soon as we entered phase 2, I made a date with a friend to grab a bite at some restaurant located between our homes that was open and serving a burger and fries. I was craving that.

To celebrate the return of meeting friends for a meal, we shared a bottle ($56) of Bordeaux Blanc, Château Bellevue, Entre-Deux-Mers, 2017. With baby steps, dining in New York City is back.
