ABOUT ALLEN & DELANCEY

In October 2008 owner Richard H. Friedberg rediscovered and transformed a slice of the Lower East Side into an unexpected dining room. Several small rooms illuminated by flickering candles, creates the feeling of a fallen attic, or hidden passageway. Filled with relics of former inhabitants, time seems to stop among the cracked paintings, tethered books, exposed brick walls and heavy drapes, just long enough to enjoy an exceptional meal and seductive cocktail.

The exquisite food crafted with nostalgia, is unexpected and alluring just like the atmosphere. Inspired by traditionalism and finished with a modern slant. All baked goods and pastries prepared in house, delight the palette and complete the meal. The cocktail list developed by Alex Day is an intuitive crafting of spirits. The thought provoking elixirs perfectly compliment the long dim lit corridor where they are stirred and sipped, long before and after dinner.

Within its first year under the stewardship of Executive Chef Neil Ferguson Allen and Delancey has collected a 2009 Michelin Star Award, 2 stars from The New York Times, was noted as a best new restaurant in 2008 by New York Magazine and Time Out New York.
