New Leaf Restaurant and Bar

As part of Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project, New Leaf donates all its net proceeds to help restore and maintain New York’s parks and community gardens. Executive chef Scott Campbell creates a constantly changing menu that’s inspired by the city’s 55 community gardens and composed of locally sourced American fare. From whole, natural ingredients, he makes bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, pan-seared free-range chicken, and flash-fried soft shelled crab. Nestled amid a dense garden of variegated hosta and century-old trees, the expansive restaurant occupies a restored cobblestone Parks-Department building from the 1930s.
