With plans already well under way for their expansion to Williamsburg, ’inoteca owners Jason and Joe Denton have turned their attention to an even more immediate addition to their small-plates empire. Jason tells Eater that he’ll have a lease in hand next week for a 65-seat spot in Tribeca, but don’t expect another truffled-egg-toast clone. “It’ll be our first step out of Italian,” Denton said. “Small plates but a move towards French and a more Mediterranean feel. We want to find a young chef who’s impressionable and make it simple and direct.” [Eater NY]
