San Sebastian, Meet Frank. Frank, Meet San Sebastian.

The Lower East Side outpost of Frankies shut their doors earlier this week for a quick makeover. They will reopen tonight as Francesca, a Basque-style restaurant headed by chef Ryan Bartlow. He made the move from Frankies 570, on Hudson Street, to the new-old location at 17 Clinton Street. His experience working at Akelarre, a three-Michellin-star restaurant in San Sebastian, shows on Francesca's menu. There's an attached glossary that will conveniently save the servers the hassle of answering the same question 7,318 times a night. Good move.
Katie O'Donnell, formerly of Esca, has taken over at 570.
