Pete Wells was one of the lucky first diners at Alinea's Eleven Madison Park appearance this week. Although he says the open layout of EMP made it difficult to be surprised by upcoming courses, the energy in the room was unavoidable: "[T]he lost element of surprise was more than made up for by the almost giddy mood that overtook the restaurant last night. Somebody would laugh, and you'd look over to see why, and they'd look up at you and grin. This happened again and again." [NYT]
