ABC Cocina Is Easiest to Walk Into at 4 PM
Jean-Georges Latin room on East 19th, where the plates are built for sharing and the first hour is the quiet one.
🕓 The First Hour at ABC Cocina
The dining room opens at four on Monday and Tuesday, and that first hour is the reason to come. The menu is built so a table can pair family-style appetizers with individual entrees, and the kitchen keeps a varied vegan and vegetarian selection, mushrooms with goat cheese among them. Portions run small and drinks run expensive, so order a round of plates and then decide whether a second round is worth it. By six the room has filled. The four o’clock seat is the one to take.
