The Bradford, a modern American restaurant in Williamsburg, has named Lena Park as its new head chef. Park, formerly of the Michelin-starred Riverstone in Tribeca, takes over following the departure of previous chef Marco Hernandez.
Park’s appointment signals a potential shift in the restaurant’s culinary direction. She is known for her focus on seasonal ingredients and minimalist presentation. The Bradford plans to roll out menu updates in late April featuring Park’s signature dishes.
The restaurant is positioning itself to appeal to a broader audience in the rapidly evolving Williamsburg dining market. Park’s experience at high-end kitchens is expected to raise the establishment’s profile in the borough.
