CONTRA • NEW YORK

138 Orchard St, New York NY 10002, United States

Superb. Minimal, industrial interior with cool vibes. Creative menu with thoughtful presentations and great wine selections.

Recommended by Kei Toyoshima Head of Menswear Haider Ackermann

Until a little more than a decade ago no one would have thought that such snazzy restaurants would have opened in the run down Orchard street. How things change. This place screams coolness from the moment you set eyes on it, that kind of urban, understated, New York new coolness. The food is meant to keep you on the edge of your seat. New Yorkers are hard to please, they have seen it all. Here they may be able to find something that can still surprise them.
