Sun out. Wine chilled. Crudo ready.
Chef Tony’s Crudo of the Day is one of those things you’ll want to ask about before you order anything else. Fresh seafood, seasonal ingredients, and a different idea every time.
Grab a seat outside, order a glass of natural wine, and let summer on the Upper West Side do the rest.
Ask what’s on today.
