TATLER SAYS

Penicillin's closed loop production—fermenting scraps, self-brewing alcohols—results in an affordable and innovative menu you could sample all night. The team's penchant for experimentation is signalled by the simple but arresting interior—apothecarylike white tiles, concrete floors, and rows of brown glass bottles. Barmen solder mezcal with copper pyramids one minute (This Changes Everything, a blood-red beet-based drink) and froth up tofu the next

(Braiding Seagrass, with sour watercress leaf and cacao-butter rum). Elsewhere this could intimidate, but the friendly staff take time to explain it all— even how their ultrasonic chamber produces French fries.
