Ardyn
From chefs Ryan Lory and Adam Bordonaro (both formerly of Charlie Palmer Group and Fig & Olive), is Ardyn, a seasonally-driven New American restaurant offering guests three distinct experiences. For drinks on the town meets stylish bar snacks, there's the sleek lounge, for those looking to indulge in a smorgasbord of plates, there's the a la carte menu served in the dining room, and for the culinary purists wishing to relinquish themselves to the whim of the chef, there's the tasting-menu-only chef’s counter. Pro tip: don't miss the pork belly and quail egg.
Ardyn, 33 W 8th St.
