Outdoor Dining in the Concrete Jungle of NYC

The menu includes dishes such as steak tartar or bouillabaisse de poisson epicee that can be paired with flavorful cocktails like the Embers Only, which blends smoked bourbon, root and black walnut bitters.

For those looking for the energy of the Lower East Side you can find it at Sauce, the newest restaurant from Frank Prisinzano (Frank, Supper, Lil Frankie's).
