he Pan American is back: after a fire two floors above shuttered the new Nolita hotspot in the spring, the team that made Spanglish-speaking sparks has come back for round two. The bones are the same: a chic space that encourages playful cuisine, owners with enough heart for all the geographic regions they aim to represent, and a dynamite menu with flavors North and South of the border. But much is new: The Pan American is wearing this season’s flavors—quite literally modernizing and polishing itself by serving honest, locally-sourced ingredients. It’s also featuring the deft hand of Executive Chef Harry Stoehr, whose upbringing on a Wisconsin farm and experience at such classics as DB Bistro Moderne add a unique flair to the restaurant’s heart and soul.
