The grand tradition of downtown dining finds a modern, casual home at Caldo Verde. Here, the James Beard Award-winning team of chef Suzanne Goin and Restaurateur Caroline Styne blend a menu based in Portuguese flavors and old California sensibilities, served alongside boutique wines and market-driven cocktails. The stately setting offers a richly-designed entrance, bar, main room, and outdoor seating that opens onto the bustle of Broadway. Walls of windows bathe the historic architectural space in natural light. L.A.-based artistry runs throughout, from Morgan Peck ceramics and lighting, to a pair of monolithic Judson Studios stained glassworks.
