T Magazine called it: the most exciting (and fashionable) restaurant to open in NYC recently? Vinateria in Harlem. We admit it, we're plotting a visit ASAP.
Maybe it's not such a surprise: the interiors were orchestrated by Salty Lab, a design group headed by Jonsara Ruth, the director of the MFA Interior Design program at Parsons, as well as Fritz Karch (see An Architect and Collector at Home). Owner Yvette Leeper-Bueno knows what she's doing, design wise. To see more, go to T Magazine.
