Our Newest Obsession The Dom Pérignon Inspired Tasting Menu at Morgenstern's Ice Cream

Starting today award-winning architect and gourmand Stephanie Goto and Nicholas Morgenstern, founder and owner of NYC’s Morgenstern’s Ice Cream are debuting their collaborative elevated ice cream-infused omakase menu called Elevated Expansion, inspired by the latest release from Dom Pérignon champagne.

The omakase menu will be available once a week, by reservation only, at the Morgenstern’s Sundae Bar on 88 Houston via RESY. The à la carte pairings will be available each Tuesday from 12 PM-10 PM by reservation.

Celebrating the release of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2003 Plénitude 2 and National Ice Cream Day on July 18, the limited-run tasting menu is a storytelling journey, presented in three acts and titled Elevated Expansion. Presented through Goto’s distinctly Japanese lens, the progression highlights the unexpected and shared linearities between champagne and ice cream. Centered around energy, space and time the menu curates and reimagines ingredients from Stephanie’s heritage, elevating traditional dishes to their second Plénitude.

The seven-course menu pairing concept was imagined by award-winning architect, gourmand and Dom Pérignon collector Goto through her longtime friendship with chef-turned-ice-cream innovator Morgenstern, and her friendship and love of the legendary champagne house Dom Pérignon. Goto collaborated with Morgenstern to incorporate their favorite and nostalgic ingredients – tamago, soy sauce, sushi rice, and dashi – to narrate a one of a kind journey connecting America and France, East and West, high and low in an revelatory way.

“Creating this experience utilized a parallel process to how I approach architecture and the sensorial. My vision is inspired by materials, textures, forms and presenting them in a familiar yet transformed way. The story is focused on something quintessentially American - ice cream - meeting something quintessentially French - champagne – and knitted together through my lens of Japan,” said Goto.

The menu will also feature à la carte offerings of a caviar trompe l’oeil ice cream cone featuring Russian River Imperial Caviar paired with a glass Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010, a delightful ‘toro burger’ paired with a glass of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2006, and a prismatic matcha and red bean sundae cube paired with Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2 Vintage 2003.

Celebrate National Cognac Day With D'USSÉ

June 4th is National Cognac Day, and what’s a better way to end the week than with a little cognac. Holidays are all about upholding traditions and making new ones, so if you haven’t celebrated National Cognac before, this is the year to start – after all, the French spirit saw unprecedented growth last year, up a whopping 62% in sales by the end of 2020. The category is quickly shedding its reputation as an “old world” nightcap of choice and gaining popularity with both classic and creative cocktail drinkers.

Leading the charge is D'USSÉ, which saw a 109% increase in sales last year, making it the fastest growing modern cognac brand. For years, cognac was relegated to neat serves or traditional cocktails, but today’s drinkers are finding that its warmth and depth of flavor is ideal for a variety of different palates. With a complex, layered tasting profile coupled with modern sensibilities, D’USSÉ appeals to both longtime cognac connoisseurs and the newest generation of inquisitive imbibers.

After a year of enduring the great indoors, let’s relish in summer days outside with friends and toast to National Cognac Day with these D'USSÉ cocktail recipes:


For a more modern twist on an easy-to-make classic, the D'USSÉ Splendid Sidecar rebalances the depth and sweetness of VSOP with orange blossom water and bright citrus flavors to invigorate the senses. This serve honors the timeless legacy of cognac with that contemporary D'USSÉ (and lemon) twist, for today’s drinker.
