"Downtown French steakhouse Boucherie is eyeing a new location uptown in the Empire Hotel on the Upper West Side, in the space that formerly housed Ed’s Chowder House. The restaurant is from chef Jerome Dihui, who used to work at Keith McNally icon Pastis. It opened in the West Village in 2016 and has since added two more locations, Petite Boucherie on Christopher Street and Boucherie Park Avenue South in Gramercy Park. It focuses on meat and butchery, as well as French classics like escargot and coq au vin." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
