Gus & Gabriel

Upload your photo »

Michael Psilakis has always hit the jackpot by drawing on the cuisine and culture of his Long Island Greek family at spots like Anthos and Mia Dona. Now, his is family is literally the inspiration behind his latest, Gus & Gabriel: This American pub, which slips into the old Kefi space, is named after his father (Gus) and son (Gabriel). The whole parent-kid theme is apt—that appeals to everyone's inner child. Name it, it's here: housemade hot dogs and corned beef, chili that's jammed with aged ground beef, short rib and brisket, and a BLT grilled cheese stuffed with smoked bacon and slicked with roasted-garlic-and-parmesan butter. Yum, yum, and yum! And strawberry-cheesecake milkshakes! In case you need to remind yourself that you are, indeed, an adult, a deep selection of bourbons, rums and tequilas should scratch that alcoholic itch.
