Corton

Drew Nieporent flips Montrachet red for Corton white. Carpets and banquettes turned beige, minimal effects all around. Overhead fixtures slender as Bob Barker’s microphone. Bland elegance works as backdrop for the kitchen’s thrills. Paul Liebrandt brings stellar rep from Gilt and Atlas, turns all molecular gastronomical on fine French. Prix fixe and tasting menus hit amadai, smoked pasta, oyster in cream of cod. Posh Tribecans block out the latest economic headlines, give in to palate ambitions.
