Thoroughly Modern and Hip

Karl Rove and other top pols joined younger movers andshakers for a champagne reception on February 7 tocelebrate the opening of Nuri Yurt and Teresa Beeman’slatest venture, Toka Café. Group Goetz Architects andToka Business Ventures have taken the English basementlevel of a mid-1970’s office building and transformed itinto a light, many-layered minimalist space. White is thepredominant color, with primary colors used as accents—Toka’s signature yellow at the back of the restaurant, cobaltblue lights at the bar, and (oh! so comfortable) orangesquishy mats gracing the booths. Modern Americancuisine by chef R.J. Cooper, like Summerfield Farm BeefFilet with fingerling pommes Anna, baby artichokes andtruffled marscapone complements the functional, aestheticdesign (with Donna Karan floors no less!)
