Russell and Desta Klein of Meritage (signage pictured above) are breaking out in a big way with four new spaces: a wine bar (Foreign Legion), a to-be-named retail wine and spirits shop, a breakfast / lunch skyway place (Cafe Zentral), and an Austro-Hungarian-inspired eatery (Brasserie Zentral). Where to score your pre-Fair deep-fried curd fix. The Well Fed Guide to Life heads out to Eli’s East. A City Pages review of the French Meadow’s Bluestem expansion (here’s ours). A visit to the newly opened Stone Tap in Hudson. And tastes of food from the UniDeli (here’s our recent trip), Hmong Village (here’s our epic voyage), and The Buttered Tin (here’s our review).
