MY NAME IS: Daphne Cheng.

I'M KNOWN FOR BEING:

Executive Chef of Ladybird and Mother of Pearl, formerly of Suite ThreeOhSix.

I'M HELPING TO LAUNCH:

An empire of fifteen restaurants and bars, transitioning to 100% plant-based menus.

YOU CAN FIND IT AT:

Ladybird launched in late July in New York City’s West Village at 127 MacDougal Street.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL IS:

Vegetable focused tapas! It’s the best way to eat: Come in with a large group of people, so you can order lots of small plates to share and try lots of different dishes.

ONE THING YOU CAN'T MISS:

The Seared Peach Caprese and the Burrata are crowd favorites so far.

YOUR BODY WILL THANK YOU BECAUSE:

The whole menu is 100% plant-based. Plants are your body’s best friend.
