Cafe Skye Joins Clinton Street Dining Scene
The windmill stopped, but the sky is here. Rather, Skye.
The new cafe recently opened in the narrow storefront at 43 Clinton Street, which previously housed Windmill, the sister location of Le French Diner.
Originally from the Atlanta area, Skye Cafe owner Cameron Bean “hopes to blend the warm qualities of southern hospitality with the unique energy of New York City” and to “add to this celebrated community through opening a casual and approachable destination.”
On the ground, that translates to a small eatery with so-called “elevated bar food.” Wine, beer, cocktails, and plates like brisket sliders, cheddar frittata, and grain bowl.
Skye also grabbed outdoor space for its dining shed, nearly doubling its footprint.
