Hello Hello I’m biba from Japan! Currently live in NYC.

How do you spend special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries?

In our case, my husband and I are both foodies so it is customary to have a luxurious meal at a fine restaurant.

I’d like to share our experience at “The Modern”, which earns 2 Michelin stars in 2023.

The Modern

The Modern is a contemporary American restaurant at the Museum of Modern Art.

“a contemporary American” is a combination of traditional American cuisine with the culinary techniques of other countries (mainly French).

It was more like French cuisine for me.

My Experience

We went for a special occasion and made a reservation before we go.

We enjoyed the four course prix fixe – dissert is included and drinks are not included.

What impressed us was that Japanese taste was incorporated into some dishes and drinks.
