Longman & Eagle

There will be strategically scruffed dudes, waifish women in grandma sweaters, flannel as far as the eye can see. This place is owned in part by the Empty Bottle guys, after all. But these are hipsters who know hospitality and a chef (Jared Wentworth) who knows pub grub: His menu changes often, but we’ve seen him turn the quizzical texture of beef tongue into a hash alternately crisp and fatty and deep-fry clams to perfection. Pastry chef Jeremy Brutzkus (formerly of the defunct Coco Rouge) ends on the kind of indulgent notes best appreciated with a fork in one hand and whiskey in the other (think chocolate ganache terrine with flavors of caramel, espresso and brown butter chestnut). Too full to leave? Inquire about one of the six rooms in the high-design inn upstairs.
