Mena
The first solo venture from acclaimed chef Victoria Blamey, who sharpened her skills at renowned spots including Chumley's, Gotham Bar & Grill, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Mena pays homage to her South American roots and decades of inspiration gleaned from the kitchens she's worked in around the globe. With a spotlight on South American techniques and seasonal, farm-sourced produce, Blamey's standout dishes include NJ Monkfish, VT Woodbury Pheasant, and ME Snow Island Oysters, along with plenty of vegetable-focused plates. The airy, 50-seat space, featuring cobalt blue banquettes and a chic brass-accented bar, meanwhile, definitely calls to the fashionable dine-and-be-seen crowd.
