A taste of Nelson in New York
A NZ-themed gastropub, Nelson Blue, has opened in New York’s burgeoning Seaport area. Owned by Pauli Morgan, a Nelson-born veteran of New York’s bar scene, the 100-seat restaurant features a suspended waka, Steinlager on tap, a bar shaped like a ship and views of the Brooklyn Bridge and East River. Kentucky-born Eric Lind, of Brooklyn’s feted Flatbush Farm restaurant, has signed on as head chef.
