The fantastical story of Alice in Wonderland has met its match with Executive Chef Daniel Gorman’s imagination and kitchen skill in The Rabbit Hole at The Henley. Along with his partner in crime, head bartender and mixologist Jonathan Howard, the two have conjured up an experience so whimsical and trick-filled that this “Rabbit Hole” is one you may never want to climb out of.
“The Rabbit Hole” is the 14-course food and drink experience offered at the Henley, an American Brasserie and Bar located adjacent to the Kimpton Aertson Hotel in Midtown.
I went down this Rabbit Hole this past week much to my delight. (I’ll be the first to admit that 14 course meals are not what I seek out.) From the first precious cup of punch at the bar (during what they call the happiest hour) to the final “carnival of sweet treats” it was an exercise in surprise and luxury.
