Before Instagram mementos, we marked memorable meals by scuttling away a copy of the menu. But more than a souvenir, these simple pieces of paper are vital to the dining experience. A good menu is informative and readable – it tempts you to order more. At Stationæry, the menus by co-owner Alissa Carnazzo – a letterpress stationer by trade – are really something special. Simple, elegant and effortless, they set the stage for chef Amalia Scatena’s cuisine.
