I've been telling my better half for the past 2 years that I would like to have dinner at Arthur's Landing in Weehawken, N.J. Why? (1) They have a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline, and (2) Adrian had raved about the duck he ate at a corporate event he attended there.
Not long after we came back from our vacation in Malaysia, we went to Arthur's for an early anniversary dinner. It was a quiet Sunday night. The moon was full and bright, but the weather outside was frightfully frigid. We were seated at a nice table right by the window. I ordered the seafood bouillabaisse, while Adrian had canard (what else?!)
Atlantic Seafood Bouillabaisse, pour moi!
Adrian's main - duck...., I forgot the name of the dish
Our shared dessert, chocolate banana dome served with ice-creamI'm really glad that we finally made the effort to dine at Arthur's Landing. Not long after U.S. Airways Flight 1549 made the miraculous water landing right by the restaurant's deck, it closed its doors for good. I read that the restaurant's staff served passengers with warm soup and coffee, and provided dry clothes from the Chef's closet.
I'm sure the City of Weehawken regrets loosing such a fine restaurant. Seems like the economic and financial crisis has spilled over to every faucet of our lives. The restaurant's Chairman posted this message on their website.

Looks very delicious!! I attended a Malaysian music performance, Talingdang. Very lively! Do you play that instrument when you were in Malaysia?
Mama bear sure would love the seafood.
