A simple dish like this speaks for itself. It’s clean, elegant and delicious. Wild mushrooms, peas and corn give the spaetzle a bit of playfulness and good flavor. The anise aroma of the tarragon adds another dimension to the German staple — it makes it interesting but never overpowers. I never tire of this delight. Besides, the Neue Galerie is one of my favorite treasures in the City, so a little breakfast or dessert after a nice exhibit makes for a perfect New York cultural outing.
