Neil Ferguson, Allen & Delancey
Pressure drop: Having arrived Stateside from his native Britain with fire-breathing celeb chef Gordon Ramsay (Hell’s Kitchen), Neil Ferguson knows a thing or two about working under pressure. That’s why at his acclaimed new restaurant on the Lower East Side, comfort is paramount: cozy, relaxed, and sophisticated, serving up bold downtown takes on haute classics (caramelized bone marrow with caviar, Colorado lamb chop persillade with potato purée).
Night owl: “In New York there’s a great late-night restaurant scene,” says Ferguson, 36, of his new home. “I want to be open until 3 a.m., serving soak-up-the-alcohol-style food. We have a big communal table, and I’d love for people to come and say, ‘All right, we’re here for three or four hours, and Neil’s cooking for us.’ There are places that do it, but I think we can raise the bar. In New York you can do anything you want. It’s just perfect.”
Neil Ferguson wears a Paul Smith London suit, $1,700, and silk tie, $135; and Versace Collection shirt, $225. |
