Chef Shots: Dalia Jurgensen

7B

"When I was younger, the East Village was the place to go after work," says Fortunato, who worked at Layla, Tonic and earlier at Prix Fixe, with Terrance Brennan and Dave Pasternack. "Chefs want to get the fuck out of Midtown and head to 7B, Cherry Tavern or Three of Cups."

What makes an industry bar?
Joey: You can come and drink. Curse. Be comfortable. You can get a shot and a PBR and it would be reasonably priced.
Dalia: There is no pretension. A great jukebox. You don't want to have to worry about sitting up straight. Or being required to order a $14 cocktail.
