Au Cheval

The eagerly anticipated NYC outpost of the Chicago burger magnet has at long last opened in Manhattan.

Tucked into Cortlandt Alley in TriBeCa, this is owner Brendan Sodikoff famous modern diner, where the signature cheeseburger draws lines around the block. It's made with a couple of griddled patties that come laden with American cheese, pickles and a mustard sauce. True to the restaurant’s name, a French term that refers to having a fried egg on top, as is bacon. Other diner-style comfort foods include a fried bologna sandwich, duck heart hash, and chilaquiles, chopped chicken livers, matzo ball soup, honey-fried chicken and fries with Mornay sauce and egg.

The setting is more tavern than diner, and reservations are not accepted. Sodikoff, also brought his Chicago prime-rib restaurant to New York, with 4 Charles in the West Village.
