New York
Opened: June, 2015
Michael Chernow, one of the minds behind NYC’s cult hit-turned-hugely-popular The Meatball Shop, is hoping to duplicate that success with Seamore's, a cute seaside shack smack dab in the middle of Nolita. Seasonal and accessible are the buzzwords for chef Gregg Drusinsky’s casual menu, which centers heavily on under-utilized, local species including monkfish, porgy and flounder. Menu items include a crispy fish taco with cabbage, guacamole, and chipotle mayo; and sandwiches like the Oh-Boy with crispy skate, romaine, pickled peppers and a “special sauce.” Diners can also pick a daily catch, which Drusinsky sears and serves up with the guest’s choice of sauces like salsa verde, red curry, harissa cashew or miso brown butter. Cocktails inspired by the coast include the Shore Thing: vodka, muddled nectarines, sage, lime and yellow Chartreuse.
