One more reason not to move to Portland
After two trips to Oregon failed to turn up the supposedly "locally common" bird, I finally saw my first Varied Thrush.
On my lunch hour.

Edi & the Wolf
102 Ave. C, nr. 7th St. 212-598-1040
The inspiration for Edi & the Wolf, a new downtown spot from Seäsonal partners and Viennese expats Eduard Frauneder and Wolfgang Ban, is the traditional eastern Austrian wine tavern known as a Heuriger. Ban defines this type of establishment as “a very rustic restaurant usually connected to a winery that serves very simple dishes,” and although his new spot lacks the requisite winery, it does feature an extensive array of Central European varieties like Riesling, Rotgipfler, and Grüner Veltliner. Accompanying them are plates of classic Austrian comfort food, from pork schnitzel and pickled sardines to variously topped flatbreads baked in a pizza oven installed by the previous tenant. As for the space, designed by architect Philipp Haemmerle, it’s as handsome and rustic as Alphabet City Heurigerscome, with a pair of Victorian military boots turned into flower vases and some 40-odd feet of old rope, salvaged from a church bell tower and artfully looped above the distressed-copper bar.


Goat Town
511 E. 5th St., nr. Ave. A 212-687-3641
Former Cookshop colleagues Joel Hough and Nicholas Morgenstern reunite to open this American bistro named for the Anglo-Saxon term from which Gotham derives. The sustainable, farm-to-table philosophy is in full force: on the menu, which features seasonal fare like autumn-vegetable ribollita and caramelized Romanesco cauliflower; in the garden, which will eventually provide herbs and vegetables, to be pickled and preserved; and in the décor, by Greenpoint-based hOmE, the brothers behind the rustically reclaimed looks of Manhattan Inn and Paulie Gee’s. A central oyster bar will dispense seafood towers and fried oysters, and happy-hour specials include a $14 grass-fed burger and a can of beer.
