Hello A & B,

I've stumbled upon your excellent reviews, and I am in love. You are my kind of picky, frank diners, and long may you write! Not only the content wonderful and useful, the STYLE of writing is delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, and wanted to note that a vegetarian can do quite wonderfully at Aquavit at lunch. I've found a hopeful expression, coupled with a wheedling tone, will get them to run back to the kitchen to "see what the chef can do." Not once or twice, but THRICE, I've had the $10 lunch vegetarianised at my request! they do have the wonderful veg tasting menu at night, of course, so they grasp the basic concept of vegetarian chow better than a lot of less trustworthy places which consider chicken and fish part of the vegetarian diet.

I appreciate the vegetarian-oriented remarks in various of your reviews, BTW.

Please put me on your list if there is one-- otherwise, I'll bookmark you and visit regularly.
