About MOON AND BACK
Opened on December 25, 2025, Moon and Back transforms a cozy East Village townhouse into a twilight-infused dining escape. The menu leans on seasonal, ingredient-led plates presented as a flowing tasting experience, while a low-lit, artful design and attentive service create a quietly theatrical evening. It's a neighborhood destination that feels both experimental and warmly familiar.
What to Order
Charred Oyster with Yogurt Foam and Sea Lettuce
Briny, smoky oysters topped with a silky yogurt cloud and a crisp ribbon of sea lettuce — a first course that tastes of tide and fire.
Roasted Winter Roots, Brown Butter, and Pickled Citrus
Caramelized heirloom carrots and parsnips glazed in brown butter and brightened with sharp pickled citrus for a balance of richness and lift.
Confit Duck Breast with Juniper Jus and Black Garlic
Tender duck finished sous-vide then seared, paired with an aromatic juniper jus and sweet, umami-rich black garlic.
