The sign on the window is neon pink and shaped like a duck. A massive painting on the wall of the dining room depicts ducks feasting at a fruit-laden table like 19th century aristocrats. Wooden decoys crowd the ridiculously tiny host stand and the bar, where guys are using a stencil to spritz duck-shaped stamps of wine on the foamy caps of duck-fat-washed cocktails. Sensing a theme? The birds are from Long Island, delivered to the kitchen with the head and feet still on, then pumped full of air so the skin balloons out, away from the meat. The ducks are blanched for just a few seconds in boiling water to get the skin taut, then hung for two days. At dinnertime, when the birds meet Joe Ng's tandoor-like oven built for this purpose and fall into a column of intense heat, they achieve maximum crispness quickly because the skin has been so thoroughly dried. The meat, meanwhile, stays moist because it's not in the oven for too long. It's an elaborate process, which is why many restaurants roast the ducks in advance, then pop them into the deep fryer during service. Decoy cooks the birds to order.

An earthy, chic, rustic space, RedFarm is sure to please. Real cocktails. And some nice appetizers. Get the bone marrow poppers. Kind of sceney still.

Decoy west village

From the team behind RedFarm , Decoy is a Peking duck lair in the space directly below the popular West Village Chinese spot -- which formerly housed its temporary, underground steakhouse -- and now looks a bit like the basement of an artsy farmer who loves a good cocktail and expertly cooked, whole, crisp-skinned juicy ducks. You need to make a reservation because they only serve 24 ducks per night , but once you do, here's how it works: you get one whole duck automatically, and then you get to choose small plates, a side dish or veggie fried rice, and a main in different amounts no mains for two, or two mains for four, for example. Any way you do it, it's actually a pretty decent deal. Here it is, in all its splendor. The dish has a rich, sweet, meaty flavor with some chewiness from the cakes. This small plate is cold sweet potato noodle salad with Spring veggies. You have the option to top this off with some uni fresh out of the shell. Choose that option. This theatrical small plate is the octopus salad with cucumber that's topped off with roe and served in a tea pot loaded with dry ice, which flows out of the spout.

Cat Lo February 15, I do wish the potions had been smaller and lower priced, but I regret nothing!!! You can also get the duck at the bar! Try the stuffed peppers. No joke! Just an amazing culinary experience. Marc Cohen February 10, And some nice appetizers. Strong move for a group dinner and a decent deal. They will sell out of Peking duck if you don't tell them ahead of time. Thom Finnarn July 21, Decoy Now Closed. Claim it now. Yes, the duck lives up to the hype.
