Charlemagne
Be one of the first to dine at this European American brasserie, opening this Friday in the heart of the West Village. Given that executive chef Jodi Bernhard (of Clio and the Inn at Little Washington) has prepared two celebratory dinners for President Obama, you know you are in good hands. Whether you choose from the extensive raw bar offerings or go for bistro classics like steak frites and pan roasted chicken, a meal at this new restaurant is sure to please.
