Hags (stylized HAGS) is an American restaurant in the East Village neighborhood of New York City.[1]
History
[edit]The restaurant was opened in 2022 by chef Telly Justice and sommelier Camille Lindsley under the slogan "By Queer people, for all people."[1][2] The restaurant servers two tasting menus with an "omnivore" and "vegan" option along with wine pairings and "Pay What You Can Sundays".[3] Due to issues with the space occupied by the restaurant, HAGS temporarily closed two months after it opened. The restaurant reopened after three months.[4] Upon reopening, the restaurant's menu changed to focus on vegetarian and vegan options.[4]
Reviews and accolades
[edit]In a positive review published by The New Yorker, Hannah Goldfield praised the restaurant's atmosphere as "relaxed and convivial".[5]
Justice won the Michelin Guide Young Chef Award in 2023.[6][7]
