Traif
11-Course Globally-Inspired Event
As its name suggests, Traif is a celebration of pork, shellfish, and all things "un-kosher". Chef Jason Marcus draws on his experience working the line at NYC's top restaurants to craft dishes that will leave you dumbfounded in the best of ways. Traif is a Michelin Bib Gourmand and NY Mag Critics' Pick. We'll be taking over the entire restaurant for this feast, and Chef Marcus will be coming out throughout the feast to introduce the dishes and talk food with us!
