"I'm noting that Greenpoint’s Le Fond, a French bistro open for nine years, will close in October as chef-owner Jake Eberle and his wife move upstate to take over the North Branch Inn in Callicoon; Eberle has handed the space to Allyx Seemann, an early-days waiter at Le Fond who has worked in the kitchens of Jean-Georges and Nura." - Luke Fortney
