For months I was hearing great things about Chef Daniel Humm’s newest venture, The NoMad Restaurant, in the NoMad Hotel. Last week I was lucky enough to get a reservation during this bustling time of year, perhaps because I was going with my dear friend, restaurant critic and author, Gael Greene. 
On arrival, I took one look around and said to my husband, “this place reminds me of Hotel Costes, in Paris“. The ambiance is very sexy; plush red velvet, high ceilings, and sexy lighting. When our waiter came to the table I asked him who designed the restaurant and he said it was indeed Jacques Garcia, the same designer as Hotel Costes! Small world!
