Cendrillon: Go down the rabbit hole and into an obscure SoHo world where Asian menus exist under French nom de plumes. Cendrillon proves that “Asian bistros” do exist, and in the most unusual settings. Enter peculiar fish-scale light installations mounted on brick walls, exquisite color photography, and delicate opaque curtains which serve to separate the dining areas. This complex atmosphere would impress even Alice, while the Mad Hatter would be pinching himself over the rare Chinese tea selection ranging from violet mint and herbal chai to elderberry hibiscus. But if you’re too old to get any of these references, check out the wine medley behind the bar. |
