Chez Nous Brings a New French Energy to the Marlton Hotel
Opening Margaux in the Marlton Hotel in Greenwich Village has become a new French restaurant. The owners, Sean McPherson, Ira Drukier and Richard Born, with their partners David Kuhn and Kevin Thompson, who are in media and entertainment, have put the kitchen in the hands of Flossie Gilles, from Montpellier, France, who was executive chef at Le Bilboquet. Her menu reflects the City of Light with leeks pavé, braised endives, chicken with escargot sauce, salmon en papillote and profiteroles; a burger and a New York strip also give a taste of what's popular in Paris. A dazzling 30-foot mural by the English painter Cecily Brown covers the back wall in a skylit room. Marlton Hotel, 5 West Eighth Street, 212-321-0111, In a city where a glass of rosé can set you back $28 or more, what the winemaker Jordan Veran is doing with his wine bar is notable. The evening hours are decorated with candlelight at Bright Side Café in Williamsburg, and wines are served by the glass; there are 10, $12 to $15 (bottles start at $60), and are mostly low-intervention French wines like Terroirists from Gaillac in Southwest France, with which Mr. Veran has a personal connection. The wine bar will be in residence at the cafe through November. 184 Kent Avenue (North Fourth Street), Williamsburg, Brooklyn, The name is a reference to the four partners who pay homage to their native heritage, with a Turkish approach to breakfast, lunch and dinner, prepared by three Turkish chefs. Breakfast involves Turkish sausage, for lunch there are Turkish-style tacos (fried dough enclosing beef, chicken or vegetables), and dinner starts with mezze and goes on to sumac-crusted salmon and braised short ribs with eggplant and orzo. Turkey inspires cocktails and some Turkish wines are poured in the art-filled 60-seat room. (Opens Wednesday) 9 Jones Steet (West Fourth Street), 929-697-2305. Eddie Huang, who made a splash with 'Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir' in 2013, is popping up at the Flower Shop on the edge of Chinatown. Olive oil from his in-law's estate in Greece gives a mostly personal Taiwanese menu a taste of the Mediterranean. Three courses are $80 with seatings at 7 and 9 p.m., June 11 through 13, July 9 to 11, Aug. 6 to 8, and Sept. 10 to 12. (Wednesday) 107 Eldridge Street (Broome Street), Want all of The Times?

Small businesses in Minnesota adjust amid Trump's tariffs
Across the state — small business , farmers and consumers are feeling the weight of sweeping tariffs under President Trump's administration. Trump announced a minimum 10% tariff on every country . Sunday, Democratic Senator Klobuchar stood in a brewery promising to find solutions as many people scramble amid an uncertain economic future. At Sisters' Sludge Coffee Cafe and Wine Bar, recent tariffs are brewing up a storm, leaving the sisters to deal with a price hike on imported coffee beans and wine. "Everything isn't produced here, coffee beans not grown here," said Kate Morris-Buch, Co-owner of Sisters' Sludge Coffee Cafe and Wine Bar. The price of beans will now cost more to bring in since they rely on imported beans from places like Peru and Colombia. They say one of their coffee blends will go up 40%, and a glass of wine could cost about $3 more. Adjustments are being made, from hours being cut to less menu items, as the business tries not to pass the cost onto customers. Minnesota Farmers Union President Gary Wertish says these tariffs are putting livelihoods at risk, and exports must be part of the market. "This is destroying our trust as reliable trading partner around the world," Wertish said. A fear shared by Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, who's committed to securing changes to stay competitive in a global market. "I want people to know that I'm doing everything I can to reverse this policy," Klobuchar said. Trump says the tariffs are the beginning of what he calls an economic revolution, and says Americans need to hang tough.
