Profile

Rusty Knot, a nautically themed bar on the very Western edge of the city, is a "dive" as imagined by the Spotted Pig’s Ken Friedman and Freemans’ Taavo Somer, and run by Momofoku co-owner Joaquin Baca. The unconventional kitchen offerings—home-made spicy pickles, a chicken-liver-and-bacon sandwich with red-onion marmalade, meat pies with sweetbreads—and the prominent-nightlife-players involved may seem out of place, but Baca swears this is a true neighborhood joint: "We’ve got a 99-cent beer and $3 cans—it’s a bar bar."
