ite restaurant on Planet Earth." She is ready to start discovering restaurants on Mars I believe.

We only tried two desserts ($8), one of which I must add to my own personal list of favorite foods on earth—a sweet and savory "grilled cheese" made from the most buttery griddled brioche filled with melting Fourme D'Ambert, drizzled with fennel honey and served with a small frisee salad tossed with diced quince. The pear upside down cake with chili ice cream was fine—it was more like a pear muffin to me than an upside down cake. It was good, but it didn't make me swoon like that sinful grilled cheese.

I am very happy that we decided to give D'Or Ahn a try. It is a great addition to the neighborhood, and a perfect complement to the wonderful Spanish tapas offered next door at Tia Pol. Like Alex (the chef at Tia Pol), Ms. Yang is quite a talent. Her food makes you feel challenged and yet at the same time leaves you intensely comforted. It is a rare combination. Like Mani and Heather, Ms. Ahn is a beautiful and sincere restaurateur and an unbelievably generous and gracious hostess. In the all of 2000 square-feet that these two little restaurants occupy side-by-side, five unique and amazing women are blazing their own path, and along the way, opening doors to many incredible meals. They must be applauded. So applaud, please.

D'Or Ahn is located at 207 10th Avenue, b/w 22nd and 23rd Streets, 212-627-7777.
