DINING, DRINKS, VIEWS FOR DAYS

elNico is the new rooftop bar and restaurant at Penny Williamsburg, serving imaginative Mexican food, drinks, and good times. Triumphant views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skyline are included with every visit. The dining room and terrace will open for dinner and drinks every day.

 

Chef Fer Serrano’s imaginative menu is a reflection of her vibrant life experience growing up in Mexico and working in some of the finest kitchens in the world. She builds on her family’s favorite recipes, adding ingredients and using techniques along her epic journey. The cocktail program under the direction of Leo Robitschek complements the food with fresh, seasonal flavors and locally sourced ingredients with a focus on agave-based spirits as well as classics and all kinds of wine.
