Prepping Adler for Wylie Dufresne


As you might have heard, noted LES chef Wylie Dufresne (of wd~50 on Clinton Street) is opening a place at the former Plum Pizzeria at 157 Second Avenue. As Grub Street first noted, the place will be called Adler, and serve "modern casual food and well-crafted cocktails."

Today, as you can see in the photo, workers continue to de-Plum Pizzeria the exterior...

"modern casual food and well-crafted cocktails."

And we all know what THAT means. Sigh. $$$$

agree with Eddie. came here to say i hope the prices are reasonable considering wd-50 is out of 94% of the nations budget.

Why does the food have to be casual and the cocktails well-crafted? Shouldn't that be the other way around?

the cocktails have to be well crafted because all the places that open around here make their money on alcohol and well crated sounds expensive while casual food does not.
and if you really want a good meal (casual or not) are cocktails that important?
and if all you want is a drink that does not cost $15 or more do you care if it's well crafted?

I'll keep going to "The Thirsty Scholar" for drinks and to "Ryan's" for food. Not that I'm any kind of authority on either subject, but I'll throw my support behind any business that's been treating me well for over a decade. Just my two cents.
