TRENDLET: Oeufs Mayo Are All Over the Place

"It's eggs on eggs..."

- ANNA HEZEL

The most instagrammed restaurant dish in the city is a $19 serving of two boiled eggs. They are halved, set face down, and blanketed with downy mayonnaise, a sprinkling of trout roe, and snips of chive. They are on the menu at the Far West Village brasserie Libertine, and they are not even the most opulent or expensive eggs in town. The Four Horsemen in Williamsburg serves a single egg, cut in half, on a bed of diced kohlrabi, cloaked in a marbled mixture of mayonnaise and squid ink, punctuated with a thimbleful of Osetra caviar. It costs $25.
