New York: ABC Cocina restaurant



New York: ABC Cocina restaurant. Casual and trendy full of energy with very tasty and delicious Pan-Latin inspired farm-to-table food, ABC Cocina is one of Michelin star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s latest restaurants.  Divided only by a corridor space with Jean-George’s other restaurant, ABC Kitchen, both are located inside ABC Carpet and Home. The space, like any ABC Carpet installations, is appealing. With it’s eclectic mix of styles and furniture, it is dark and industrial looking, yet cozy and fun. LED low voltage chandeliers, black steel top tables and Thonet chairs, with an occasional pink one thrown in, mix terribly well with the “quaint” mix of mismatched antique plates and cute little wild flower arrangements on the each table.
