Review:
wd~50 opened at 50 Clinton Street, between Rivington and Stanton, on Manhattan’s Lower East Side on April 9th, 2003. The 65 seat restaurant occupies a former bodega and has a full bar. Dinner is served seven days a week, Monday through Saturday from 6pm to 10.30, and on Sunday from 6pm to 10pm. The restaurant also offers private dining in its wine cellar for up to fourteen people. The chef, Wylie Dufresne, was formerly the sous chef at Jean Georges and in 1999 became the chef at 71 Clinton Fresh Food. wd~50 is the first restaurant where Wylie is both the chef and an owner along with his partners, former employers, Jean Georges Vongerichten and Phil Suarez. The menu at wd~50 utilizes elements and techniques from a wide array of cuisines. The restaurant has garnered praise for its inspired culinary combinations, cutting edge culinary techniques, and innovative use of ingredients. Appetizers range from $17 to $21, entrees from $26 to $36, and desserts $16. The nine-course tasting menu is $140 and a wine pairing is offered for $85.
