The second location of Jack’s Wife Freda opens at 50 Carmine Street tomorrow, and while the design and the menu stay true to the popular Lafayette Street original, the West Village menus are slightly different. There are few new items, like an anchovy baguette with salsa verde, orange-blossom pancakes with yogurt and honey syrup, and mussels with coriander curry. Take a look at a few of the other exciting additions:

Eggs Benny: two poached eggs over potato latkes with smoked salmon and beet hollandaise.
