Public Kitchen

Jean-Georges and Ian Schrager are a formidable combination, and their new iteration of The Public in the East Village is no exception. The restaurant itself features a quintessentially East Village patio with greenery winding up the fence, and an interior that centers on two wood-fired grills and a rotisserie. Dinner is all about Jean-Georges’ inventive takes on classic dishes, like a cheeseburger with frizzled onions and house-made pickles, and a squash pasta with bacon, jalapeño, and arugula.
