Replacing the beloved restaurant Florent, this charming Meatpacking District eatery offers post-club hopping diners an upscale, yet homey destination for alcohol-absorbing comfort food. Sparingly decorated with a few antique maps, shiny white tile walls, pressed tin ceilings and an old-timey zinc bar, 69 Gansevoort feels like a designer diner. Fittingly, chef Jacqueline Lombard has created a cheeky menu that recalls updated childhood favorites, including her version of SpaghettiOs, tater tots and mac ‘n’cheese (albeit deliciously updated with bacon, peas and shallots).
The Extras:
Recall awkward camp memories over a delicious seared marshmallow s'mores dessert ($10), served with melted chocolate for dipping.
