I went to Morton’s for lunch, which is when BGC reveals its true character. The Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail arrived cold and firm, the shrimp properly cooked, a phrase that should be unnecessary but never is. In a city where meals are often squeezed between obligations, the refusal to rush becomes part of the pleasure. One year in, Morton’s does not feel new. For a holiday table, or for beginning the year properly fed and clear-headed, that kind of reliability is not dull.
