Back Forty

Back Forty was Peter Hoffman's first new restaurant after a twenty year successful run with the more upscale Savoy restaurant in SoHo. Hoffman's pioneering farm-to-table ethics made him "a locavore before the word existed," per the New YorkTimes. At its core, Back Forty is a burger joint—but an organic and responsibly sourced one, with ample, in-season vegetarian dishes. Just as Savoy broke new ground when it offered a relaxed approach to the concept of a chef-driven restaurant with greenmarket ideals, Back Forty East continues in that tradition.
