Profile

It's a testimony to the quick-change, upside-down nature of recession Manhattan that a joint that rose to prominence serving bootleg liquor during Prohibition now seeks to peddle gastronomic opulence on the sly, with a little wink, as if shaved white truffles and pats of overpriced foie gras have suddenly become some form of exotic contraband. — Adam Platt
