New Meyer eatery to open by year’s end in Battery Park City

Restaurant titan Danny Meyer’s latest upscale creation, North End Grill, will open in Battery Park City at the end of the year, his Union Square Hospitality Group said today. The Wall Street Journal has more details on the new watering hole, a “new American eatery and bar featuring refined grill cooking with an emphasis on seafood” at North End Avenue and Murray Street. Chef Floyd Cardoz will sit at the kitchen’s helm after 12 years at Meyer’s Indian-fusion Tabla, which closed at the end of last year. This is the third new foothold in Battery Park City for Meyer, who recently chatted with The Real Deal about his expansion into the Miami dining scene. In July, Union Square Hospitality had announced plans to open Blue Smoke, Shack Shake and a then-unannounced fine dining restaurant in the area. [WSJ]
