new york | wonder wall.
contributed by fabiana santana
if you're one to say you have no reason to go down to wall street, bite your tongue. wall & water, located in the andaz hotel, is now open.
the fidi's most precious boutique hotel the andaz (where guests check in via a handheld PC in the lounge), is bringing some good eats to hungry suits. wall & water offers a farm to table, hudson valley-inspired menu by chef maximo lopez may created in plain view of diners. guests enter the resto through the kitchen (goodfellas style) and wind up in another area where chefs prepare a variety of charcuterie, cheeses and starters like spiced lamb sausage and endive and beet leaf salad. the rockwell group-designed dining room is quiet and cozy, with dark green banquettes pushed against wooden tables, and a ceiling dotted with light bulbs strategically placed to match the room's wall design. (additional light is shed on the room from the pearl shaped sconces, created to honor nearby pearl street.) feeling hungry yet? hunker down with comfort eats like braised veal cheek with black cabbage and sautéed celeriac, duck breast with rainbow chard and turnips, and organic baby veggie pie stuffed with winter herbs and chickpeas.
a spot like this? you never really had a doubt. wall & water. andaz wall street hotel. 75 wall street. at water. 212.590.1234. now open. www.andaz.com
