After closing in late August for a little interior makeover, Café Boulud has re-opened its doors revealing refreshed new contemporary interiors. Sometime next week, Café Boulud will also be revealing its new adjacent cocktail spot, Bar Pleiades, flush with two new 14-seat private dining rooms. Chef Gavin Kaysen has come out of hibernation and remains behind the stove where he will be working his magic on some new menu items, including “the flavors of Asia.” Lunch service is set to commence this Saturday with one of the better prix-fixe deals around — $28 for 2-courses and $35 for 3-courses. Dinner, Lunch and Brunch menus follow…
