One step closer.

The community board agreed with our proposal. We’re one step closer to opening Le Yard at 858 Ninth Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen.
Small menu. Bold takes.
I want French delicacies and American comfort food to meet at the same table. Familiar dishes, elevated with top-quality ingredients and a few bold turns. A small menu gives us room to care about every plate.
From plate to glass.
We’re building our cocktail and wine program around those dishes and the neighborhood. I want what’s in your glass to belong with what’s on your plate, and with the evening you came in for.
A little of you, too.
Before you sit down here, I’d like you to help shape the place. Art for the walls. A color we should try. A name for a cocktail. I’ll share the choices as we go. Send me what comes to mind.
December 1 is still our opening target. For now, another step forward.
