STORY

A ghost kitchen cooking reimagined American comfort food.

Inspired by my mom who cooked nightly and my grandmother who hosted every holiday with feasts (and an unmatched collection of china), Forward Table was born in the midst of a pandemic when every New Yorker was craving comfort food—delivered. The menu is an ode to the food I love: from a childhood full of home cooking, from my Jewish heritage, from my travel, from culinary school, from the meals I cook myself at home… created from a place of thinking, “what do I want to see on a menu?” I hope you enjoy.
