The owners of nearby Raw have taken oven the former APO lounge, instituting a brief, mostly successful menu that meanders through Asia (crackly flash-fried chicken, brussels sprouts with salty-sweet Chinese sausage) and America (burgers and grilled cheese), and occasionally off the map (a peculiar scamorza paired with mint and sambuca). The downstairs is lively, if a bit cramped, but the glossy crowd sipping on cocktails doesn’t seem to mind.
