Chelsea’s hip Ace Hotel is home to The Breslin, the much-anticipated new arrival from Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield (the Spotted Pig) plying a meat centric British menu; the funky-but-chic setting has rustic leanings – unfinished plank floors, a peeling ceiling – jazzed up with ceramic taxidermy, an open kitchen and an upstairs mezzanine with VIP room written all over it; currently soft-opened for breakfast and lunch (dinner service is still in the works), it eschews reservations in favor of a first-come, first-served approach.
