At Cynthia, the menu moves with time,
a quiet conversation with the season.

There is no autumn quite like a New York autumn.
Sharp, golden, gone before you're ready.

The menu turns with it, unhurried:
in apple, crisp and clean, the season in a single bite,
in squash, dense and patient, generous once given time,
in hearts of palm, tender and pale, quietly sweet,
in kiwi, bright and unexpected, a little tart against the cold.

Each one touched just enough.
Never asked to be more than it is.

There is something distinctly New York in this table:
a directness,
a refusal of waste,
a clarity of purpose.

And beneath it, a warmth from further south,
loose, open, unhurried,
carried with us into the colder months.

The two find each other here, as they always do.
Autumn food, held close.
Just as it should be.

The wine program

This wine list was born from our travels, our encounters, and the bottles that have left a lasting impression on us along the way.

It brings together the growers, terroirs, and traditions that have shaped our understanding of wine, from the great classics that defined its history to the lesser-known discoveries that still surprise us today.

An open, approachable, and sincere list where every bottle has a place and a story to tell. Whether you're a passionate enthusiast, a seasoned collector, or simply curious, we hope you find a wine that speaks to you.

Currant Cosmo — Cynthia bar program
The bar program

Classics, rethought from the ground up.

Orlando Franklin McCray built his back bar around local, small-batch producers whose work reflects the values driving the kitchen: intentional sourcing, sustainability, and a commitment to what's genuinely interesting over what's merely familiar.

The cocktail menu draws from classic forms and then departs from them: unexpected combinations and seasonal ingredients that honor each drink while finding something new inside it.
