Butter Restaurant - New York City

Every year, NYC like many cities promotes restaurant week where prixe fixe menus at highly-rated or cutting-edge (sometimes, more ambience than food) restaurants are offered at lower octane prices.  One on the 2013 list was Butter Restaurant in downtown Manhattan which serves traditional American food with a spicy kick.  For foodies, I heard that the Executive Chef is Food Network favorite, Alexandra Guarnaschelli.

only light can do that.

Church and celebrants honored the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through an ecumenical service about a month ago.
