Chic Eats: The New Village Oyster Spot

Tagged:

For those of you not sticking to the Blueprint Cleanse this January, a new spot on Bleecker Street demands your attention. Choptank, the new Chesapeake Bay-themed spot opened by Bobby Werhane (of Dell’Anima and l’Artusi) and Josh Morgan, is all about oysters, shrimp, and linguine alla vongole. On Saturday night, when Chic visited the joint for a pre-opening birthday party, it was all about cupcakes…but that’s another story. At any rate, it’s exactly the kind of food you want in January. Start with a half-dozen huitres, follow-up with the salmon and lentils, go easy-ish on the champagne and call us in the morning. THE DETAILS: Choptank, 310 Bleecker St between Seventh Ave South and Grove St, 212-675-2009

    Attention, paparazzi: spot these shoes, find Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

  • On The Spot

    The Spring 2010 lookbooks have been rolling in, and one that’s caught our eye? Cushnie et Ochs. The images were shot by photog Chadwick Tyler–backstage at the actual show. Chic Report is loving the way the shots hover between the raw frenzy of the show and the polish of these oh-so-pro models. And oh, those dresses…merci, Carly and Michelle!
