While the sting of the closure of Commerce is still fresh, at least Harold Moore has a brand-new restaurant: Moore Food & Drink opened on the mezzanine level of the Empire Hotel late last week, offering an American-brasserie-style menu. This isn’t experimental cooking: Moore’s making dishes like roasted chicken for two, New England clam chowder, a lobster roll, deviled eggs, and macaroni and cheese. Desserts, like chocolate cake, peach pie, and banana pudding, are similarly nostalgic and comforting. Take a look:
Moore Food & Drink, 44 W. 63rd St., 212-956-1288
