"Matt Lambert may as well be the de facto ambassador for New Zealand's bountiful cuisine, state inspectors of this Nolita restaurant. For a chef who was raised in a country famous for its rugged terrain and affinity for game, his contemporary cuisine is surprisingly subtle and thoughtful. Open for dinner (including Sundays), options during the event include maitake with country ham and persimmon; short rib with salsify and huckleberry; and carrot upside down cake with yuzu and brown butter." - Aaron Hutcherson
