Former Bessou Chef Opens Lingo in Greenpoint - Eater NY
"Lingo, located at 27 Greenpoint Avenue, between West Street and Transmitter Park, in Greenpoint, is a new restaurant opened by Emily Yuen, the former chef at Bessou. The venue offers an eclectic mix of Japanese and New American dishes, such as Arctic char in sake beurre blanc and a whole fried Cornish hen with chile gremolata. Yuen's culinary influences are reflected in dishes like beef and bone marrow pie, milk bread with smoked sake butter, and steak tartare wrapped in nori. The restaurant's design merges Nordic and Japanese elements, featuring white oak chairs, coral cushioned counter stools, and calming green walls. Lingo is open Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m." - Caroline Shin
