With a swanky, intimate atmosphere, cool crowd and modern industrial-chic decor, Public is a popular casual all-day dining spot in New York's hip Nolita district. The eclectic international menu created by chef Brad Farmerie takes inspiration from the best of Australian, New Zealand and Southeast Asian cuisine. Having won its first Michelin star in 2011, expect delicacies such as grilled kangaroo on a coriander falafel with lemon-tahini sauce and green pepper relish; melt-in-your-mouth pan-seared Tasmania sea trout on a salad of fennel, green apple and pistachio with preserved lemon yogurt and fennel pollen; and heavenly Hokey Pokey ice cream with ginger snaps and mango sauce. Public also offers a popular weekend brunch menu with luscious coconut-stuffed pancakes, and a delicious rendition of eggs Benedict made with tea-smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce flavored with yuzu.
