New American Restaurant

$$$$

This funky Lower East Side gastropub is equal parts cocktail bar, casual dinner spot, and brunch destination. The shabby vibe -- think mismatched furniture, walls cluttered with tchotchkes, and drinks served in mason jars -- matches the comfort food menu, whose Mediterranean dishes like spiced lamb pita and feta-topped fries at dinner are as popular as the egg nachos and chorizo breakfast burrito at brunch.
