10 Downing will get you 100% up

10 Downing, the reincarnation of Provence on Macdougal St (may it rest its soul), has been on my radar for a while, but I have had scarce a moment to try it out, despite good reviews. It's supposed to be a simple concept: fresh, simple food. New chef Jonnatan Levia has put out a lunch menu that sounds delicious- now all I need is a date! See below for the full LUNCH menu.
