NYC Restaurants

Restaurateur Joe Campanale and hospitality veteran Dave Foss have opened LaLou, a wine bar in Prospect Heights. LaLou's 150+ bottle wine list is focusing on natural, small batch and biodynamic wines. The kitchen, led by Executive Chef Jay Wolman, is offering mix-and-match dishes that can serve as a light bite or full meal. Look for things like fried green olives, zucchini escabeche, spaghetti with chickpea & black pepper, and hanger steak with soppressata & bitter greens. Beignets with lavendar and honey are counted among the dessert offerings.
