Cabaret
at Café Sabarsky
On selected Friday evenings,
the Neue Galerie will be presenting an excellent roster of cabaret
stars at the museum's own Café Sabarsky, which will provide
a special prix-fixe dinner. Ute Lemper's April 5 opening-night
show is already sold out, but the coming weeks' talent includes
Sanda Weigl and Theo Bleckmann. (For info, call 628-6200, extension

Ask Gael
What do the food couturiers
have for us now?
We passionate
foodistes do make a fuss about what we eat. In this case,
Bill Devin, a New Jersey expat happily transplanted to
Tarragona, an ancient city south of Barcelona, is waxing
poetic about his luscious Moscatel wine vinegar (I'm sold,
finding it amazingly smooth and not too sweet). "I was
sick of balsamic this and balsamic that," he says. So
he challenged university oenologists to create a sweet
wine vinegar for Unió, whose elegant olive oil
he was already shipping to New York, along with hand-filleted
skin-on anchovies and Cal Valls' fire-roasted piquillo
peppers. Thrilled to learn we share an addiction to tuna,
Devin warns that silken bonito belly tinned by Ortiz
will spoil me forever. Indeed, the lush ventresca is as
wickedly rich as foie gras, not that I don't appreciate
the more sedate line-caught albacore the company packs
into jars. "Lay a few of those artisanal anchovy fillets
on top," Devin urges. Available east and west, at Fairway
(2127 Broadway at 74 Street, 212-595-1888),Citarella
(2135 Broadway at West 75th Street, 212-874-0383), Ideal
Cheese (942 First Ave at 52nd Street, 800-382-0109)
and Pisacane Midtown (940 First Avenue, 212-752-7560
)
