Allen & Delancey opened in late 2007, opening up the barren restaurant territory in the neighborhood marked by the restaurants name. It was a bold move, for while the latin fusion restaurant called Rayuela opened a few weeks earlier up the street, the lower east side , and in particular, the east side of Allen Street was starved for signs of life after 5:00 pm. For a first-time chef and his investors, the placement of this ambitious restaurant was a bit of a gamble.
