FoodTyrant

Brought to you by the chef and owner of Nolita's peasant, the deep LES gets its own private Venetian wine bar cum hotspot.

The Tyrant should never be so smitten, but the small menu only seems to get better and more varied upon each visit.

Downstairs--in the dark catacombs of shared tables and worn wood--is the only place to sit. Come alone and sit at the bar... or even come with a crowd of 10... It always works.
