DUMBO — Igor Hadzismajlovic, co-founder of Manhattan cocktail lounge Employees Only, is set to launch a new 65-seat Italian restaurant on Main Street in DUMBO next month, with his wife Helen Zhang and business partner Edo Ademovic, reports the New York Post.
Ziggy’s Roman Cafe, named after the couple’s youngest child, will be family-friendly and will feature a mezzanine play area for kids. Chef John Poiarkoff, formerly of Marta, will helm a menu of Roman-style dishes, while Employees Only’s Jason Kosmas crafts the cocktails.
“We were searching for normal places where families can eat in Dumbo and there was nothing accessible for people who live in the neighborhood, just exorbitantly priced restaurants since it is a huge tourist magnet — but not a dining destination,” said Zhang.
