OPENINGS
Estes
Chef Patrick McKee, who previously worked as the executive chef at Perlott and worked for a decade under famed chef Vitaly Paley at Paley’s Place, will soft open a new residency inside the Broder Nord space from January 16—17 and will debut walk-in service on January 18. Named after McKee’s mother, Estes takes its inspiration from the homestyle family dinners McKee ate growing up, with dishes like cacio e pepe, handmade squid ink bucatini, and porchetta. McKee’s friend Ben Preacher of Wilder will make cocktails, pour wine, and run the front-of-house operations.
