— Post critic Steve Cuozzo compares the scene, the vibe, and the food at the Beekman Hotel’s new restaurants, Keith McNally’s Augustine and Tom Colicchio’s Fowler & Wells. His takeaway: "Although neither kitchen has yet hit its full stride, Colicchio’s pricier fare so far holds a razor-thin edge over Augustine’s. But, give us a burger, Tom! — at least in the bar."
