Mado — and chef/owners Rob and Allie Levitt — get a ringing endorsement from Bon Appetit in their forthcoming list of “Top 10 Best New Restaurants in America.” We landed a sneak peek at the roundup, which praises Mado’s commitment to sourcing local, citing the constantly-updated chalkboard menu and the biweekly delivery of a Slagel Family Farms pig. The Green City Market gets a shoutout too, as the source of the Levitt’s inspiration: “We’re not trying to break new ground,” Rob tells the magazine. “All we want is to have fun cooking great ingredients simply.” The dish to try, in Bon App’s opinion? The clam and calamari seafood stew with salsa verde. Check out Grub Street New York for the complete list of honorees.
