Pumpkin's new look
Pumpkin (1713 South St.) hasn't changed a lick looks-wise since opening in 2004, but that ended New Year's Day, when Ian Moroney and Hillary Bor decided to kick off a intensive front-of-house overhaul of their teeny 28-seater.
Pumpkin's new look
Pumpkin (1713 South St.) hasn't changed a lick looks-wise since opening in 2004, but that ended New Year's Day, when Ian Moroney and Hillary Bor decided to kick off a intensive front-of-house overhaul of their teeny 28-seater. "The restaurant has grown and the food has grown," says Bor, "but the room has stayed the same." Can't say that anymore — designer Arnie Liguori landed all sorts of local reclaimed materials, from original wood panels from an abandoned Eraserhood factory to a central light fixture that once illuminated a school gymnasium, to grant a new feel to the BYO, which reopened this past weekend. They've lost two seats but there's so much more room to breathe for both staffers and diners. Speaking of dining, you should hit up their new tasting menu option — six courses of food from chef Christopher Kearse for $65, Tuesday through Thursday. They still offer their five-course, $35 tasting every Sunday.
