Coco's Memo #6 : My 10 New-New-York Clqssiques
I’ll always have a soft spot for the icons, but I also love a HOT NEW THING (who doesn’t?). Here are my top ten new (or fairly new!) spots in the city that I’d recommend to friends.
Ten spots, not ranked, just the ones I genuinely think are worth your time right now. All of them made me want to come back. If you’re in New York and hungry (or curious), start here.
@lechene, the finesse of French food has finally landed in New York. Chic, on the pricier side, but genuinely delicious. The semi-circular bar at the entrance is beautiful, the dirty martini is perfection, and the art deserves a mention. Three gorgeous Basquiats on the walls. Little discloser though expect .
@wildcherrynyc, the hottest new opening in town right now, tucked behind the iconic Cherry Lane Theatre. The food is american-diner nostalgic, the cheeseburger is a standout. Very much of the moment.
Practical Details

@bridges.nyc, a retro-futurist gem by @billycotton blending art deco, brutalism, and futurism. Art deco inspired lamp by @willcottonnyc. The food is creative, the atmopshere perfect. Special mention to my friend James Henry (from Le Doyenné in Paris) and his former kitchen accomplice Sam Laurence, now the owner. Their takeover night back in June was one of those rare meals that brought me back to the best creative joints in Paris.
