The restaurant will serve the food of Baltimore (crab cakes, what else) because that's where Kevin Petricio, the cooking consultant, is from; and the drinks "will draw on the early history of American distilling, 'especially the rye whiskeys of Maryland and Pennsylvania.'"
The foods of Baltimore. I can see the New York version now: Maryland crab soup followed by crab cakes followed by a dessert of Berger cookies. With a shot of rye whiskey on the side.
