L’Appart

Amid the market bustle of Battery Park’s Le District lies this eight-table French tasting-menu restaurant, helmed by Daniel alum Nicolas Abello. Pulling produce and proteins from Le District’s market stalls, Abello puts together a six-course spread that includes dishes like organic-zucchini hand rolls with Crottin de Champcol goat cheese and kiwi chutney, a mille-feuille of roasted beets with 12-month Comté and aged balsamic, and cucumber cups with poached Maine lobster and makrut-lime leaves. Diners can view the cooking action through an open kitchen from the 28-seat dining room, fixed with marble countertops, copper light fixtures and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson River.
