RESTAURANT SUMMARY

epclublogoblackgold.png

In the heart of New York City's East Village, Claud New York emerges as an intimate European-inspired bistro where culinary artistry meets neighborhood warmth. This 40-seat sanctuary at 90 East 10th Street transforms the traditional wine bar concept into something profoundly personal, where every detail reflects the passionate vision of its creators.

Founded in July 2022 by chef Joshua Pinsky and sommelier Chase Sinzer, Claud represents the culmination of extraordinary pedigree meeting heartfelt hospitality. Pinsky, former chef de cuisine at Momofuku Ko, brings technical precision honed under David Chang's tutelage, while Sinzer's expertise as former wine director at three-Michelin-starred Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare elevates every pour. Named for Sinzer's mother Claudia, the restaurant embodies family memories and European traditions, earning recognition from The New York Times as one of NYC's essential dining destinations and securing its place in the Michelin Guide.

The cuisine at Claud celebrates seasonal European classics reimagined through contemporary American sensibilities. Pinsky's menu showcases signature dishes that have become neighborhood legends: the meticulously prepared pâté en croûte, requiring days of preparation; roast chicken for two glazed with foie gras drippings; and the acclaimed devil's food cake that transforms childhood memories into sophisticated indulgence. The frequently changing à la carte menu emphasizes pristine ingredients and technical mastery, with dishes like clam toast and baked clams demonstrating the kitchen's range from rustic comfort to refined elegance.

Claud's intimate atmosphere centers around genuine hospitality in a thoughtfully designed space featuring eight tables, bar seating, and a six-seat counter reserved for walk-ins. The restaurant's compact footprint fosters personal connections, with chefs often serving dishes directly to guests and staff remembering individual preferences. Sinzer's wine program showcases an extensive, ever-evolving list emphasizing Old World producers, particularly French Loire Valley and Burgundy selections, alongside exceptional grower Champagnes that perfectly complement the European-inspired cuisine.

Reservations at this coveted East Village destination release 14 days in advance through Resy, though walk-in opportunities exist at the bar for spontaneous visits. The restaurant's commitment to maintaining its intimate scale ensures every guest receives the attentive, personalized service that has made Claud a beloved neighborhood institution. For discerning diners seeking authentic European bistro culture in New York City's most dynamic neighborhood, Claud offers an unforgettable experience where exceptional cuisine, curated wines, and heartfelt hospitality create lasting memories.
