"I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of this restaurant since their amazing debut at Taste of Tribeca. Forge was definately a standout this year with their Jamison Lamb.

Forge features Chef Marc Forgione's laid-back yet high-style approach to New American cuisine in a comfortable and energetic atmosphere. Menus change frequently to showcase fresh ingredients and new twists on seasonal American favorites."
