Tailor

The official word is that Sam Mason – the young, tattooed pastry chef who honed his skills working with Wylie Dufresne at wd-50 – will open Tailor tomorrow (though Eater.com is reporting that its liquor license has been delayed). The bi-level SoHo eatery is a showcase for Mason's sweet and salty creations rooted in the avant-garde techniques of molecular gastronomy (caramel panna cotta with corn sorbet and crunchy chocolate "soil"; pork belly with miso butterscotch and artichoke). A first-floor lounge will serve unconventional cocktails crafted by mixologist Eben Freeman, who also shook things up at wd-50.
