this is for a series of posts for stephen starr restaurants including:alma de cuba, barclay prime, butcher and singer, continental midtown & martini bar, the dandelion, el rey, el vez, jones, parc, pizzeria stella, route 6 [1], route 6 [2], & square burger. the first time i tried parc was after a nye tasting at twenty manning grill. the gf and i came for a few cocktails before heading to a nye party with some friends. the atmosphere at this french brasserie was comfortable and cozy, decked out in a celebratory mode.
