Atera and the Forest Have a Lot in Common

While Erik Torkell waits to review Atera, the new, wildly popular Tribeca restaurant from chef Matt Lightner, the guys at immaculateinfatuation think it's best to save your money for Brooklyn Fare.  "For that much money, we need every bite to be an out of the park home run, and there are some singles and doubles on this menu that had us wishing we could order a la carte."

Kickstart Your Way to Dinner

Eater reported yesterday that Erik Torkells, the man behind the Tribecacitizen blog, was trying to raise $300 on kickstarter so he could dine at the new Tribeca hot spot Atera.  Dinner at Atera runs $150 for the prix-fixe and another $90 for the wine pairing.  It turns out he's hit his goal, he's raised $315, so it looks like there's squab claw in Erik's future.
