The former Mason Dixon space is now Sons Of Essex, a self-styled "deli, restaurant [and] townhall" on the Lower East Side, peddling the sort of fare that's not only become pervasive in New York cuisine, but ultimately a little stale. For instance, there's the entire grilled cheese menu, putting it into competition with roughly every other eatery of its ilk in the five boroughs, and their menu of macaroni and cheese, which puts it at odds with every other eatery, even if they do offer selections like fried chicken cordon bleu balls with a bleu cheese cream sauce and a Hungarian chicken paprikash. The entrees are bog-standard pricing for the neighborhood, with a brook trout that'll run you $28 and a lobster pot pie that sounds absolutely tantalizing but tastes a little off next to the $29 price tag.
