So it's raining and cold, you're starving, and you've already been waiting half an hour for seats together to open up at Momofuku. Do you continue to press your face against the window or rush straight into the Italian pastry shop on the same corner and gorge on gelato and biscotti? Luckily our patience eventually pays off and we figured out why Momofuku is worth the wait. Marinated baby octopi, tender little things, started us off. I'm generally not a fan of octopus but these were as delicious as any I've ever had. The Momofuku Ramen is served in a huge bowl with a fragrant broth topped off with slices of roasted Berkshire pork belly, shredded pork, fresh English peas, chopped scallions and a soft-poached egg. It's rich and satisfying this night. The chocolate and pistachio gelato next door turned out to be worth the wait too, and a perfect way to top off our meal.
