02 / Moving forward
One step closer.
Written by Donald Lena
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.
