This morning’s Lower East Side food news:
LTO (Limited Time Only) open in the old Broadway East space. From their new web site: “Chef RJ Cooper, James Beard Foundation Award winner for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic (2007), is the first in a cadre of chefs to grace LTO. Cooper and his team… will serve a 16-course progression menu and a 24-course journey menu nightly from April 27 – May 8 ($100). A la carte selections will also be offered at the bar.”
The Times’ “$25 and Under” column features the newly renovated Nom Wah Tea Parlor. Summing up, Ligaya Mishan writes, “there is a menacingly chic bar down the block and a slick Mexican place set to open next door. But Nom Wah is still here. Let’s keep it that way.”
