- 2nd City — a Filipino taqueria-style restaurant by chef-owner Jordan Andino in the West Village — is named after Cebu Island, the “second city” of the Philippines
- Canadian-born/California-raised chef Jordan Andino, who trained under big names like Thomas Keller, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and Wolfgang Puck, brings his fast-casual flare to Hudson Street, with a fun menu reflecting his Filipino heritage and contemporary cooking style
- The 20-something-influenced menu has dishes like Bi-Curious Tacos (butter poached barracuda taco, slow braised short rib taco, and tamarind slurry), Nice Buns (two crispy fried pork belly bao buns, sweet and tangy pickles, and hoisin-BBQ sauce), and the Poke Me (sushi grade tuna, sweet miso coconut steamed rice, scallions, and wantons).

2nd City is a family affair with Mr. Andino incoporating aspects of his grandmother’s recipes into his menu. The Filipino chef’s mother, pop artist Joanna Garel, and uncle (also an abstract artist) Sonny Bacalao, helped design the mural displayed in the restaurant
