Little Goat Diner opens | Photo gallery

When the hype for your restaurant has been building for years, what better time to finally open your doors than the sleepy days between Christmas and New Year's? That's just what Stephanie Izard did, debuting Little Goat Diner on Friday, December 28. Team Food & Drink was on vacation, but photographer Oriana Koren checked out the scene. And to our delight: It really does look like a diner! And the menu really does read like one...with some whimsical twists: a brandade-and-pork-belly Benedict, bacon-and-eggs with kimchi, duck-confit banh mi, eight types of burgers, fried chicken, ground-goat Shepherd's Pie, and a whole section of the menu called "Snack Corner." Check out the full menu here. Little Goat Diner (820 W Randolph St, 312-888-3455) is open 7am–2am daily; Little Goat Bread, which opened in early December, opens at 6am.
