Profile

Noho's popular Five Points is known for its rustic, Greenmarket-inspired menu and its casual hominess—both of which owners Vicki Freeman and her chef-husband Marc Meyer aim to reproduce at their Chelsea outpost, Cookshop. The glass-walled corner spot has an open kitchen equipped with a wood-burning oven, rotisserie, and grill—built, as they tend to be, by "a crazy old Italian," according to Freeman. Meyer will use that central appliance to turn grass-fed meat, locally caught fish, and sustainably raised poultry into dishes like grilled Montauk squid with capers, lemon, and parsley, and rotisserie-roasted chicken with fire-charred fingerlings. Vegetables will be just as seasonal and local (if it's late August, it must be heirloom tomatoes), and fish will be cured in-house. And in a canny bit of design, the bar faces the window, making for convenient West Chelsea people-watching. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Stay away from the suckling pig! One of my favorite guilty pleasures is the tasty, tender meat of suckling pig. ("guilty" because the animal is slaughtered so young). At Cookshop, they ruined this dish and serve only the guilt. We tried different bites and had to spit it out every time. Had a mushy, raw-like texture and zero flavor. When the waiter asked us how our food was, we politely gave him our candid impression. He seemed understanding and apologetic. The funnel cake we ordered for desert was free...but still had to pay $26 for an inedible entree and left hungry. Thanks.
