A night out for the Obamas in New York

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama capped off two hectic days of United Nations meetings and speeches with a dinner Wednesday night at one of New York’s hippest restaurants.

Reporters were kept away from the scene, but Mattos posted a ticket showing the Obama’s order on his Instagram page. The president and first lady shared two orders of burrata with salsa verde and bread, two endive salads, tomatoes, and croquettes. 

New York Times food critic Pete Wells recommended the Italian cheese dish in his review of the restaurant, saying the “burrata sits like whipped cream on charred bread.”

“Soaking into the bread and pooling around it is a brooding green liquid pressed from lovage, sorrel, celery and other foliage,” Wells continued. “It looks like something you would force yourself to drink after doing very bad things to your body. Ingesting it with burrata must be some kind of preventive medicine, the after-midnight ibuprofen with a bourbon chaser.”
