In Lower East Side food news this afternoon:
- The Voice says Mary Queen of Scots is “nothing to lose your head over.” Lauren Shockey is underwhelmed: “Despite the hubbub and glitz and the refreshingly friendly and attentive service, the staying power of this establishment remains questionable, given the relatively uninspiring cuisine and fickle nature of trend-seekers. It wouldn’t be surprising if the restaurant mirrored the trajectory of its predecessor, Allen & Delancey, by thriving for several years before dropping into oblivion.”
- Mark Israel prepares to open the Doughnut Plant Chelsea on Monday — fancier than the LES original but better? Never!
- Eddie Huang decides to offer his TV dinners four nights a week at Baohaus.
- It’s Wild Pete Macy’s Trivia Challenge at Fontana’s tonight!
