"The team behind the iconic late-night restaurant Herbs & Rye delves into daylight hours with a sleek new restaurant that has a menu of breakfast standbys, raw bar seafood, and the inventive cocktails fans of owner and bartender Nectaly Mendoza have come to expect. Middle Child is all cool tones and bright windows. The dining room is anchored by an open kitchen; white marble tables flank walls adorned with mirrors and pale blue subway tile. French toast gets a fine dining twist — slices of brioche layered with berry compote, shaved foie gras, and whipped caramel creme fraiche" - Janna Karel
