Welcome back to Restaurant Outlook, a periodic, highly subjective listing of restaurants we’re paying attention to.
Fairly New
- Hundred Acres — This Marc Meyer/Vicki Freeman follow-up to Provence opened a few weeks ago. It’s in the Five Points–Cookshop haute barnyard vein. Reservation: June 27.
- Persimmon — David Chang isn’t the only one doing an Asian-inspired prix fixe in the East Village. Reservation: July 12.
- Forge — Consider us signed up for Marc Forgione’s suckling pig for two. Reservation: July 18.
- Matsugen — Jean-Georges Vongerichten does Japanese in the old 66 space. Naturally, there’s no website yet. Reservation: July 19.
-
Duane Park — This sequel to
Duane Park Café looks interesting, though there aren’t many reviews to go on.
No plans to visit yet.
-
Talay — Pan-Asian food in Harlem, and how often does
that get a mention from Florence Fabricant?
No plans to visit yet.
Forthcoming
All of these restaurants have been announced or mentioned in the press, but some of them may be a long way off.
-
Corton — Paul Liebrandt in the former Montrachet space in early August, or thereabouts.
’Nuff said.
-
Bouley 3.0 — David Bouley’s move to the Mohawk Atelier Building at 161 Duane Street. Expected “
by the fall.”
-
La Fonda del Sol — Mexican you can take seriously?
Gael Greene thinks so, and so does Adam Tihany, who’ll be designing the space. Expected in “
late fall.”
-
Susur Lee’s first New York restaurant at 200 Allen Street on the Lower East Side, as yet unnamed, but also expected “
come fall.”
-
Brushstroke — another Bouley restaurant, at 111 West Broadway. Given the
well chronicled problems getting this restaurant off the ground, I would be surprised to see it before 2009.
-
SD26 — Tony May’s follow-up to the
now-shuttered San Domenico, expected April 2009.
