New NYC Restaurant: Inside Park

We knew space for restaurants was tight in NYC, but is nothing sacred?

Apparently not, as the latest hot spot restaurant just opened inside St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue. The church's community house was converted into the 140-seat Inside Park, a modern dining room that retains details like the 15-foot-high stained glass windows and the 86-year-old wood floor.

Inside Park has built up some buzz due to the presence of executive chef Matthew Weingarten, formerly of Savoy, who has the audacity to call his dishes "simple plates," despite the fact that most diners will need a dictionary and an encyclopedia to decode the menu, with items such as chiogga beets in poppy cream, limousin veal roast with chanterelle preserves, and sizzled rouget in corn cream.
