"Opening: April Contra, the tasting-menu spot from the Wildair team that closed in 2023, is turning into Bar Contra. The menu will be similar in spirit, with a la carte dishes like fried scallops and celeriac crumpets intended to go with drinks from the nerdiest of cocktail nerds, Dave Arnold (previously of Existing Conditions). With mostly booth seating, the reboot seems like it might be a little comfier than the original." - bryan kim
