"Even for diehard New Yorkers, Roosevelt Island was a never a destination for eating or drinking. But the opening of the Graduate Hotel last summer included a notable restaurant by restaurateurs Marc Rose and Med Abrous of LA-based hospitality group Call Mom (they opened LA spots like Winsome and Genghis Cohen) and helmed by chef Megan Brown. The menu puts little twists on dishes you’d expect to find at a hotel restaurant: a burger gets the addition of thick-cut pepper bacon and pickled green tomatoes while duck is used instead of chicken for wings." - Bao Ong
