Another restaurant opened on Frederick Douglass Avenue to exploit the development boom and coming population explosion on same said Ave - 5 & Diamond. Fraud's ten second, worth a dime(mond) assessment is: cozy, unpretentious, cute. (Pause.) Looks like a nicely executed concept, kind of like a smaller Market Table. The chef is Ryan Skeen, formerly of Irving Mill (good burger) and Allen & Delancey (interesting but expensive drinks) and a Cafe Boulud alum. Stay tuned for a full Fraud Brown review in about a week.
Like a devilishly handsome, debonair secret agent who tip-toes around raindrops, Fraud snapped an exclusive pic of the restaurant and some Gentrifiers inside. Anything for my readers... Okay... I actually asked the general manager for permission. She obliged because, well, women just can't say no to The Kid. But you need night vision goggles to actually make sense of it. No Biggie Smalls.
Above is the "soft opening" menu. (The lighting was shitty and the type was small, okay? I mean, can I live?) Check out GrubStreet (NY Mag's food blog) here for a legible version. 5 & Diamond is doing business in the near term from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays. My dude.
