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.
