Did you know there’s a new performing arts center near the World Trade Center? It cost a little over half a billion dollars, and if you head up the staircase at the entrance, you’ll find an upscale restaurant from Marcus Samuelsson, serving smoked hamachi tacos and grilled short rib that looks and tastes like a fancy McRib. The food is allegedly inspired by the neighborhoods of New York City—similar to Tatiana—although that seems like a stretch at times. Maybe the skimpy $40 crudités platter will remind you of Kips Bay, or maybe it’ll just remind you of a farmer’s market around 5pm, when everything is sold out. The space looks great, like a futuristic living room, and there are some solid bites on the menu, but the overall experience is hit-or-miss.
