Some combinations are so fascinating they're just begging to be tried—like
espresso and vodka or
Three 6 Mafia and the Oscars.
Or now, caviar and Harlem.
Tomorrow, a destination bar hits the unlikely destination of Lenox and 120th—
Caviar Bar at
Emperor's Roe.
Owner David Mills seems like a typical laid-back guy—
Salmon Roe to $200-an-ounce
Beluga), complete with champagne pairings and Baskin-Robbins-style samplings ("I'm not sure, can I
get
another taste of that
Iranian Sevruga?").
Flanked by a deli counter (selling accoutrements like foie gras and escargot) and the small fine dining room
in the back (opening next month), the bar is a casual joint, an unpretentious spot to experience your
pretentious tastes.
It's now just a question of time before we bring you a new artisanal fromagerie in Sugar Hill and a foie
gras joint in Bushwick.
