The husband-wife team of star chef and restaurateur turn towards Mexico for inspiration in their latest East Village restaurant.

Rosie's is the first Mexican restaurant from restaurateur Vicki Freeman and star chef Marc Meyer, whose joint empire includes Cookshop, Five Points, Hundred Acres, and Vic's. Better known for seasonal-American and Mediterranean cooking, the couple have kept the same seasonal philosophy, but instead delved into the world of traditional and authentic Mexican dishes, inspired by the open markets and diverse flavours they discovered during an immersion course Meyer took at Diana Kennedy's Michoacán boot camp.

The restaurant features a 12-seat comal bar, where Meyer along with head chefs Angel Andrade of Cookshop and Chester Gerl of Hundred Acres cook up the likes of antojitos and masa-based snacks, as well as offering stews and roast meats served in clay pots.
