Here is a look inside Rider, the new restaurant from chef Patrick Connolly opening this Friday in Brooklyn performance space National Sawdust. Connolly — who won a James Beard Award while at Radius in Boston before decamping for Bobo here in NYC — last worked at Basso in his native St. Louis. The restaurant is named after the hospitality contract musicians have with performance venues that covers food and beverage.
