Some time ago, I had brunch with my good friend Raquel and her visiting friend Sara. This meal would be the punctuation on an alreadywonderful dining weekend in NYC for the two. They were generous enough to invite Sara's fiancé, Roshan, and me to join them at Hundred Acres (38 MacDougal Street, near Prince Street, 212.475.7500, www.hundredacresnyc.com). Now the entrees...
