"From the team behind Raf’s and The Musket Room, Cafe Zaffri is now taking reservations for its February 7 opening. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of a Union Square hotel and members club called The Twenty Two. Membership to the club starts at $2,000, but Zaffri will be open to the public. It’s an all-day spot, serving Levantine food like lamb tartare, grilled octopus, and a crab pasta with saffron, and if you have any doubts about how fancy it is, we’ve heard the dining room has a fireplace reclaimed from a European chateau." - will hartman, bryan kim
