Tribeca, Manhattan · restaurant
Tribeca’s answer to the French brasserie, only looser and a little louder. The room hums with golden light, leather banquettes, and that zinc bar you keep meaning to lean on while ordering something offbeat from the natural wine list. The menu riffs on French staples without ever getting fussy, like crunchy duck with fries, escargot tucked into scrambled eggs, a lobster that’s been rotisseried. This is the kind of spot where dinner turns into another bottle, then maybe another plan entirely.
