"Chef Yara Herrera has been behind redeveloping the menus for Xilonen, the former vegan taco spot from Oxomoco, Sobre Masa, the Mexican restaurant and tortilla factory, and most recently, at wine bar restaurant Margot. For the first time, Herrera is adding “owner” to her credentials, joining the team behind Ridgewood wood-fired hit, Rolo’s, and Radio Bakery in Greenpoint. Hellbender Nightime Café, set to open in October, will feature a bar menu with snacks like quesadillas and Oaxacan cheese sticks." - Emma Orlow
