Bar Madonna

Bar Madonna Opens in Williamsburg, Brooklyn | Eater NY

"Taking its name not from a religious icon or pop singer but from managing partner Eric Madonna (an alum of the Modern), this Williamsburg cocktail bar at 367 Metropolitan Avenue near Havemeyer Street is a collaboration with partner Ray Rando, a former manager at Carbone whom Madonna met years ago while both worked at Lupa (once co-owned by Mario Batali). At their Italian American venture there are several cocktails planned, including an eventual roll-out of Italian pastry–shaped Jell-O shots, and a kitchen menu from chef Rob Zwirz (an alum of Marc Forgione’s One Fifth) that features a meatball Parm, wings with Calabrian hot sauce, and oxtail croquettes with blood orange marmalade; the space also includes art from KidSuper." - Emma Orlow
