Quick Bites

Award-winning Bacchanalia restaurant has changed its menu format from the five course pre-fixe structure to a la carte ordering across the board. The menu offerings will remain familiar (caviar and oysters, crab fritters, seared foie gras and the cheese cart), but allow for more customization in ordering and larger portions. The change comes with the appointment of Executive Chef Joe Schafer, formerly of Abattoir, who was appointed to lead the Bacchanalia team. Another change for fans of the Anne Quatrano-Cliff Harrison run eateries is at Star Provisions, which is now opening at 8 a.m. for breakfast. Menu items include breakfast sandwiches, frittatas, tarts, bagels, sausage biscuits, omlettes and croissants. The counter at Star Provisions will close slightly earlier at 6 p.m., with meat and cheese departments open until 7 p.m. The bakery will continue service as before, until midnight.
