BEST NEW RESTAURANT (OPENED IN LAST 12 MONTHS)
HALCYON, FLAVORS FROM THE EARTH
Owners Jill Marcus and Karen Teed, who also own Something Classic Catering, have opened the brilliant Halcyon, Flavors from the Earth in a space and with a menu dedicated to nature. The arts-and-crafts-movement interior is a stunning push back from processed design, while the menu, executed by Chef Marc Jacksina, uses as many local products as possible and keeps the menu seasonal. Halcyon has a laudable sense of place.
