New York’s design maven Wendy Goodman takes a look inside Desmond’s, the restaurant that just opened in the former office and showroom of interior designer Richard Keith Lanham. Veterans from Indochine (John Loeffler, one of that restaurant’s founders) and Soho House (chef David Hart) created what might be called “an updated version of great New York dining arenas like El Morocco and the Stork Club,” complete with a working fireplace in the mezzanine dining area and an open kitchen. See the slideshow here.
