Opening Tuesday: White & Church

Last we told you about Il Matto replacement White & Church, the word was that this time around, the food would be way “less scary.” Well, bidding arrivederci to cold mozzarella soup is one thing, but Christina Bini’s wacky drinks were always the best part about the place. So it’s a relief to learn the idiosyncratic mixologist will still be jazzing things up on the new spot’s cocktail menu when White & Church opens Tuesday. We’ve gotten our hands on the list, which is actually two lists: “classic” and “innovative.” On the latter, you’ll see old friends like the smoked martini, garnished with — yes — smoked salmon, and a whole category of drinks featuring insects like grasshoppers; meanwhile, numerous classic options range from a Bloody Mary to a Singapore Sling. As mentioned previously, small plates hew traditional Italian, though there’s still the odd deviation — like one dish that combines tapenade and guacamole — after all, we can’t expect chef Matteo Boglione to completely stop having fun. See the full menus below.
