Cheap And Chic On The Lower East Side

Bored with brioche? Then you’re just in time for Balthazar owner Keith McNally’s latest New York City restaurant–a Lower East Side dive called Schiller’s Liquor Bar. McNally promises there will be no VIP reservation lines, only “outcasts and layabouts.” “It’s a place where anyone can go,” he says. The equally accessible menu features everything from fried-oyster po’ boys to pork chops, all for less than $20. –R.I.
