Tribune Tower

After more than a year of hosting their popular, multi-course pan-African supper club OKO, Tribune owners-operators Chef Omri Aflalo and Darrin Ballon have handed chefs Mike Woods and Solomon Johnson the reins of their restaurant for a hybrid consulting and rebranding residency they’ve dubbed OKO at Tribune. The menu will switch from classic French style to market-forward Creole and pan-African a la carte options; they’ve been slowly previewing new dishes this month, with an official grand “opening” on October 24. Creole Cajun and Gullah Geechee food products like Hoppin John with allium ash and herb oil and Limpin Susan with head-on prawns are the stars of this destination-worthy pivot. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, as well as a full bar that will highlight Black- and POC-owned spirits and wine labels.
