Le Zinc
On November 4, 2000, the opening of Le Zinc, the more pedestrian cousin of the legendary A-list French-American restaurant Chantarelle, was featured in The New Yorker Magazine. Illustrator Marcellus Hall captured owners Karen and David Waltuck as they readied the restaurant for the public in this piece which ran with The New Yorker article.
