Nosh Euro Bistro

Avner Samuel has dropped the prices and stripped away much of the pretension from Aurora to create Nosh in the space that previously housed his legendary fine dining temple. But the restaurateur hasn't abandoned his commitment to quality, infusing almost every small plate on the menu with admirable excellence. Neighborhood doyennes come here to see and be seen, but regular diners can focus their gazes on the bistro classics, including a stunning pate, beautifully fried oysters, steamed clams and crispy escargot fritters that, at $6, are a steal even by non-Samuel standards.
