Allen & Delancey

Fodor's Review:

Opening your own restaurant in a culinary hot spot like New York City sounds daunting, but not for Neil Ferguson. The original chef de cuisine at Gordon Ramsay's The London NYC, Ferguson now brings his own brand of British flair to the Lower East Side. The interior of this charming restaurant is a cross between a cozy old London pub and a speakeasy. The exposed-brick walls of the small dining rooms flicker with the light of dozens of candles and the old-fashioned paintings and timeworn books seem to call you back to another time and place. The comforting menu, a nod to the neighborhood's vast cultural past, is an epicure's salve. Ribbons of prosciutto are paired with truffled fingerling potatoes and leek vinaigrette. A dish like cabbage, beef, and onion flaunts its own artistic twist—a ball of cabbage stuffed with beef and a delicate onion stuffed with cabbage.
