The crux of Black Market's menu will be cheeseburgers and oysters, with somewhere around ten dishes total being served, including a salad and a shrimp cocktail — oh, and real cocktails by Sam Anderson of Hotel Delmano. The food won't be anything fancy, but count on “excellent purveyors” (Pat LaFrieda, in the case of the cheeseburger). No reservations accepted unless (we can only assume) you’re the type who can step to the door of the owners’ other place Cabin Down Below without hearing the words “private party," but walk-ins are welcome at the room’s 60 seats. Take note: the roll-down gates will remain closed while the restaurant is opened, so look for the door to the right. — Daniel Maurer
