ATHLEISURE LIST: NYC
PEKARNA NEW YORK
Pekarna New York launched Dec 2020 on the UWS with a menu that focuses on Slovenian-American dishes.
Chef Kamal Hoyte’s dinner menu is a melding of traditional Slovenian and New American seasonal dishes with French techniques. To start, an array of appetizers includes the Truffle Matzo Ball Soup with roasted chicken thighs, chicken consommé and truffle matzo balls. For a main course, we suggest the Wild Striped Bass with a butternut mascarpone puree, wild rice pilaf, maple glazed brussels sprouts and pineapple serrano vin blanc. The dessert is not to be missed with Consulting Pastry Chef Alma Rekić's Apple Wrap or “Slovenian Apple Pie” made with a baked apple roll, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla gelato.
With a focus on Slovenian-American fare, they offer traditional items from their menu when indoor dining resumes that includes appetizers (Boudin Blanc, lightly fried smoked wild boar and rice sausage with hot pepper jelly and Dijon mustard on the side), mains (Slovenian Brodet known as the Fisherman’s Stew, red snapper, dayboat scallops, mussels, shrimp, squid, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes with a grilled baguette and saffron and potato aioli) and desserts (Kremsnita Cake is the famous Lake Bled cream, rum and lemon custard, topped with a delicate and flaky puff pastry).
