Grub Street

As expected, Kenmare opens for dinner tonight — at the time of this posting there were still tables for two available at eight o’clock. Interesting fun facts: We hear neighbor Serge Becker of La Esquina was instrumental in connecting Nur Khan and Paul Sevigny with Civetta’s Lou Ceruzzi, and another downtowner, Harold Dieterle of Perilla, was lending a hand in the kitchen during one of the friends-and-family nights (as was chef Joey Campanaro’s partner, Mikey Price). Truly a neighborhood affair. You’ve already seen the room and the menu — now peruse our slideshow to see some of Campanaro’s dishes.
