Chambers has a Peach & Pluot Clafoutis on the menu served with almond ice cream and peach compote.
Other bites worth seeking out…

Potato Gnocchi in a briny lobster sauce is available at Vestry topped with a light-as-air parmesan foam.
New to the menu at Le Crocodile in Brooklyn is Agnolotti with chanterelles and favas. The dish uses mushroom stems and scraps from the Burgundy braise for its duck in a bid to cut down on waste.

Naro is offering a new cocktail from its sister restaurant, Atomix, called Sesame Symphony with Sesame-Washed Lapostolle, pisco, Nimome tangerine yakju, Eldorado 12, Rhum J.M. and fino sherry.
