Do not leave without enjoying a scrumptious sweet ending with the Choux au craqueline trio. However the private dining room is, the show stopper and where you can sit among the stars or eat under the sea in a virtual setting that is paired with your culinary options, but don't worry the cuisine is not virtual. Enjoy weekend afternoon tea too and chef's special spring tasting menu ($118 per person). You will not be be disappointed. iChina is one of the sexiest spots I have ever dined and is located on two floors at Sun Valley Mall.

This extraordinary dish was one of those last supper-bucket list - better than your mama's cooking plates. Created by a rock star Chef Adams who's doing next level, no limits flavor-bomb cooking at ASTRA restaurant at the St. Regis. Make a reservation soon before this culinary secret gets out.

TV: FAREWELL JAMES CORDEN
It's farewell to funnyman and CBS Late Late Show host James Corden. The wickedly talented British TV Star has announced his departure after this next season. Corden brought us sidewalk musicals and the sensational Carpool Karaoke attracting the world's biggest stars: Adele, Elton and Paul McCartney. I see a fruitful career in movies and theatre in Cordon's future. He will be missed at CBS. Catch Corden weeknights for one more year here.
