"Ed Szymanski and Patricia Howard are responsible for the impossible-to-get-into seafood restaurant Dame in New York’s Greenwich Village. Now, the pair have opened a British nose-to-tail bistro called Lord’s, where they’re letting offal and pig’s head shine. The new restaurant, a few blocks north of Dame, features a menu that’s rooted in English tradition, but with Szymanski’s take on the classics. There’s a sirloin steak with green peppercorns and the same divine chips featured in Dame’s fish and chips. But there are also more hard-to-find dishes like curried lamb Scotch eggs, deviled crab on toast, and a savory pie of the day (currently with a filling of chicken, pig’s trotter, and leeks). For strict vegetarians, options are limited—there is a grilled mushroom kebab with lentils and egg yolk, but not a lot else. The beverage program includes cocktails like a Bartlett pear Manhattan, and a mostly-French wine list. Lucky for New York diners who have braved the hours-long wait at Dame, Lord’s boasts four times the square footage and twice as many seats. Perhaps a dinner of duck with stuffed cabbage and parsnip is in the cards." - ByKate Kassin
