The Lion

Editorial Review

The Waverly Inn crossed with Delicatessen. Chef John DeLucie of the former hooks up with Mark Amadei of the latter, adding on publishing-exec star power to up the glitz even more. Joint pays homage to original ’60s nightclub where Babs caught her first break. Village bohemian accents: Andy Warhol watches over you as you dine on classics (lamb porterhouse, Dover sole, lobster potpie), and Italian-inflected moderns (tagliatelle, cavatelli). Media groupies, your new stalking HQ has arrived.
