Telepan Local

Telepan Local offers almost none of the virtues of small-plates eating with most of the drawbacks. The meal unfolds, or unravels, on tables the size of the ones in cocktail lounges where, in another era, people had manhattans and mixed nuts while waiting to be moved to the dining room. “We’re a farm-to-table American tapas restaurant,” my server said one night. “All the food is small plates...

TRIBECA — Telepan...

Bill Telepan's eponymous brand migrates to Tribeca, bringing a cozy, casual eatery to the culinary canyon of Greenwich Street. The menu boasts mostly small plates of imminently shareable American dishes, from grilled cheese and pigs in a blanket to bay scallops and grilled beef short ribs.

Bill Telepan Does It Again!

After dining at Telepan Local last night, I went back to read the NYT review, which I remembered as being somewhat tepid. Was it ever (one star, lots of snark)! And was it ever wrong. Our meal was completely delightful, every dish inventive and delicious. We started with three large heirloom tomato slices, served with a scattering of cooked clams and a delicious dressing that involved reduced...

I really enjoyed the food and the flavors. It was all brought together very well. I went during Restaurant Week which was a great, but I'm not sure that I'd be overly thrilled with the prices if the food was as small as it was for restaurant week. then I would feel that I would be over paying.The sommelier was wonderful. Suggested delicious wines for me and my dining companion that went very...

Another stellar experience at this neighborhood gem. Management and hosts were very welcoming at the door and the table. Emy's service was on point from beginning to end, and her food knowledge and recommendations were excellent!

Ok I'm a major foodie and am in NYC constantly. Having enjoyed Telepan years ago, I decided to give T Local a try during Restaurant Week. We had a large party and ended up sitting in the downstairs area which has a separate vibe from the upstairs as it is a relatively smaller space with lower ceilings and intense acoustics. All that said, we were astonished at how great the restaurant week menu...
