What: The definition of 'American' food seems to change over time, and in a melting pot like New York it changes from restaurant to restaurant. For Chris Cippolone and Simon Kim, it means cuts of fish accentuated with market vegetable and pastas with Korean influences. Ingredients like seaweed butter and kimchi find their way into traditional plates to create something fresh and flavorful. The restaurant is on a serene part of Hudson street, making it a great date night spot.
