Welcome, Bocuse!

One of the highlights of our trip to the Northeast last year was a dinner at Hyde Park. Not too long after we ate at Escoffier, the Culinary Institute of American closed it for renovation. We enjoyed the food, but the decor definitely harked to decades past, very dark except for a portal for guests to peek into the bright and beautiful kitchen. Now it has reopened with a new name, a new menu and a new look. I guess it's time for another trip!
