"The Contra team is on a roll right now. Since the beginning of 2024, they’ve opened Bar Contra, The Tusk Bar, and now Brass, a French brasserie within the same Nomad hotel as Tusk Bar. The food here is classic fare: things like moules frites with panisse, chicken roulade, and ricotta gnudi. They also have “Two Sippers” on their cocktail menu, putting us on teeny martini watch." - will hartman
