This is the kind of place where you could post up with your laptop for a few hours or meet a date for a casual meal. There’s also an excellent MEC (mortadella, egg, and kashkaval cheese) made with an egg steamed to perfection. We especially recommend the panko-fried fishcake katsu with biting white kimchi on a milk bun, as well as the sweet tofu pudding with black boba and stone fruit mixed in. Now, Chef Kate Telfeyan has taken over the operation with an all-day menu featuring everything from a Korean breakfast set to nori-fried pork chops and wine and cocktails in the evenings. Before that, the director responsible for that snoozefest The Irishman (Martin.something?) used the space as a film set. This Ridgewood all-day spot first opened as an Austrian cafe back in 2019. If you’re doing a downstairs walk-in, don’t miss the scallop skewers and the focaccia with onion jam. We say all that to convey that this place is run by pros, and it shows. The place is run by a former chef de cuisine at Frenchie, the restaurant that has been on every list of Paris restaurants for the past decade, as well as the master sommelier who was in the documentary Somm and now also runs the wine shop Verve. Most of the produce here comes from a single farm upstate, and outside the restaurant on Thursdays, you’ll find a farmers’ market selling whatever’s in season. On the upper floors, One White Street serves a reservations-only, six-course, $148 set menu, while the ground floor and outside are à la carte and mostly left for walk-ins. But this two-part restaurant located in a Tribeca townhouse is more than good looks. As far as the eye can see, there’s a luxe surface: marble, suede, fancy wood, glossy ceramic tile. One White Street is very, very good-looking. Make a reservation through their website. There’s always a record playing, and you can BYOB, although you might see a server walking around with some complimentary white wine. Like any proper NYC dinner party, the space can only fit about 15 people, most of whom share a communal table up front. Before each of the four courses – whether it’s a ginger-heavy fish pepper soup, mushroom suya, or pounded yam with efo and spicy pepper and tomato sauce – the chef/owner shares a personal story about the dish you’re about to eat. This fantastic Bed-Stuy restaurant serves a rotating prix-fixe meal inspired by the owner’s upbringing in the Nigerian state of Kwara. But if we were going to pay for such a thing, $75 would be a pretty good deal–especially if it meant eating some of the city’s most exciting new food in a setting that feels like an apartment hang. Gemma Jr., the organization's executive director, confessed he was stunned by the resignations, but said the group would not change its plans, which call for spending as much as $650,000 this year and next.We don’t normally pay friends to host parties where we get to schmooze with new people, drink wine out of tiny cups, and eat delicious food. In the case of the antiabortion group's list, moreover, the cooperation needed to pass legislation of any sort probably would have been impossible between those on the ''hit list'' and those on the group's letterhead. The device is all but universally opposed in Congress, since any member is susceptible to its use. They said they were opposed in principle to the ''hit list,'' a tactic used increasingly by single-issue political groups to marshal money and manpower against legislators opposed to their causes. Hyde of Illinois, author of the legislation that prohibits use of Federal funds for abortions for women on welfare, also quit the board. ''Members of a group's advisory board should be asked to advise, and since I was not I intend to resign,'' Senator Jake Garn, a Utah Republican and a sponsor of a proposed constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion, was said to have remarked. Within hours after the group published a list of ''targets'' for defeat, four members of Congress on its advisory board, including two of the most outspoken Congressional opponents of abortion, resigned in protest.
The National Pro-Life Political Action Committee last week unlimbered its political guns for next year's Congressional elections - and promptly shot itself in the foot.
