So continuing with the saga of this New York City lock down and with not much to do when meeting a friend except to enjoy outdoor dining and support local businesses, I met my friend up at The Mark Hotel which is located at 25 East 77th Street between Madison and Fifth.

It was very hot out and so we met in the hotel lobby was sooo nice and cool…

Here are some outside photos of the hotel and The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges where we ultimately decided to eat.

So I wasn’t that hungry because it was sooo humid out and so I decided to go light.

I decided to order Kale Salad with serrano chili sauce which I ordered on the side, It also came with lemon sourdough croutons and I additionally ordered a side extra of chicken breast.

Now I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy the meal but I must admit that the chicken was just a bit tough and if I didn’t have the chili serrano dresseing for the chicken and the kale-well it would have not been that great.

I have eaten sooo many chicken dishes in restaurants and this one was not as tasty as I thought it would be.

So if you’re in the area, check it out and see if there is anything on the menu that catches your eye and that you might like.
