Earlier today we learned of the thirteen new restaurants slated to open next year in the new Delta terminal at LaGuardia, many of them with big names attached. Here now is a look at some of the early design plans for a few of the projects, including Bisoux Market, the take away component of Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson's French brasserie, Minnow, the seafood restaurant with a menu by Andrew Carmellini, Bar Brace, the casual Italian project from Jason Denton, as well as a peek at the dining area for the Dom DeMarco Pizzeria and burger stand. Full descriptions of each restaurant (with the exception of Michael White's Cotto), ahead.
From the official press release:

The beer list, carefully selected by Garrett Oliver, brewmaster of the Brooklyn Brewery and author of The Brewmaster's Table, features local favorites and hand-picked beers from around the world. A menu of small bites, cheese and meats complements the seasonal varietal wine offerings, along with a full selection of beer, spirits, and illy coffee and espresso beverages. To enhance the experience, each bar seat has a touch screen where customers may learn more about the wine offerings and pairings and even place their order.
· Minnow: Minnow is a seafood and raw bar that will serve the best selections of fresh fish and shellfish. The menu, developed by Andrew Carmellini – from the renowned Locanda Verde and author of Urban Italian -- is complemented by an expansive wine and craft beer list.

· Bar Brace™: Bar Brace is Italian road food at its best, featuring homemade panini and bruschetta with bold flavors from both classic Italian ingredients and more inventive combinations. Jason Denton, New York restaurateur (Lupa and Inoteca) and author of Simple Italian Sandwiches, composed the menu based on his extensive travels through Italy.

Customers may also order house-made milkshakes as a perfect complement to a Pat LaFrieda burger. [Ed: this is from the press release, but the folks at LaFrieda say it will not have their name on it.]
