New NYC Restaurant: Batch

March 19, 2008 at 9:00 AM | 1 Comment

Sometimes after a big dinner in NYC we hanker for something sweet--and neither cupcakes nor a dry black and white cookie will do it. So we're excited to head to the newly opening Batch, from P*ong chef Pichet Ong. He's got an impressive pedigree: A former pastry chef for Jean-George, Oprah's mag called his dishes "elemental."

A teeny 12-seat spot, Batch is the perfect place to wind down after dinner, with its deep red walls and subdued tone. You can delight your date with Asian-inspired yuzu-shortbread sandwiches, coconut-calamansi layer cake and durian ice cream.

The sparkly crystal chandeliers overhead and mismatched antique-y glassware make you feel downright elegant. Savory sandwiches are on the way, too. Something tells us Pichet's done it again.
