The Story

In the summer of 2008, seven years after their agreement, the team starting scouting the streets of New York for the ultimate location.  They settled on a small space in the Lower East Side, where Allan could create the plates he wanted, in a cozy atmosphere for friends and couples to gather, have great food and enjoy the company.
