British Indian Chef Asma Khan Cooks Dinner at NYC Restaurant Dhamaka | Eater NY

"A new bar opening in the Seaport at 22 Peck Slip (at Water Street) in early May, conceived by Bryan Schneider to feel like a New England seaside whaling tavern inspired by the Spouter Inn from Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. Chef Antonio Mora’s menu leans toward New England influences with dishes like crab bacalaitos; hard-tack biscuits with smoked salt butter, and spicy pickles. Mora previously worked at Restaurant Daniel, Morandi, Frankie’s Spuntino, and Quality Meats. The 60-seat space will include a whale jaw sculpture over the bar, a marine-themed mural, and a bar made out of driftwood; Azikiwe Mohammed is behind the design." - Nadia Chaudhury
