"RMD Group (Lumi, Huntress, Rustic Root) plants an all-day café and lounge in the lobby of the Carte Hotel, where the bright space turns out Turkish eggs with labneh cream and chili crunch, farmers market carpaccio with heirloom tomatoes, Mishima American wagyu lightly kissed with chimichurri, Hamachi crudo, and a spicy fried chicken sandwich dressed with cabbage and cilantro slaw. From the bar, I’m ordering the Stay Classy, a spritzy mix of spiced rum, passion fruit, and prosecco." - Helen I. Hwang
