The Frenchette Duo Debuts Its West Village Restaurant Next Week — With a Black Label Burger Follow-Up | Eater NY

"The chef duo behind Tribeca’s Frenchette and UES Le Veau d’Or, Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, are preparing to open here on Friday, October 3 in the A24-run Cherry Lane Theatre, sources say, with the studio aiming to turn the space into a clubhouse for events and film screenings. Grub Street reports possible dishes ranging from seafood starters like tuna crudo and conch with celery to mains such as kielbasa with sauerkraut, alfredo pasta, and a steak dinner for two with baked potatoes, plus desserts like Key lime pie. One of the most anticipated items is a new cheeseburger from the chefs who introduced the Minetta Tavern Black Label burger years ago, raising the question of whether this updated cheeseburger will become the signature dish. Drinks will include oversized Murano glass goblets filled with Scorpion Bowls—a nod to tiki culture without actually being tiki—alongside a dirty martini, a Bee’s Knees, and the Sherry Cherry Highball built with amaro." - Melissa McCart
