••• Atera opens Tuesday: “Atera (“to go out” in the Basque dialect) replaces the short-lived Compose, but retains its prix fixe, tasting-menu format (now $150 for ten courses, plus $90 optional beverage pairing).” —Grub Street, which has a small slideshow of striking food photos given to them by the restaurant.

I’m not sure I can justify yet another $400+ dinner anytime soon. I’m still waiting to hear what my tax accountant thinks about my visits to Jungsik and Brushstroke.

A worker with the Pontes, the landlords, was showing him the space. Evangelou grew up across the street and his family once owned the property where Philip Johnson’s Urban Glass House now stands. He said he hopes to rent the Don Hill’s place and bring back live performances there. He’d also like to use it during the day as a music school for underprivileged youth.” —The Villager (via Eater)
