Alas, at the Cannibal, you won't find the limbs of any Homo sapiens on the table, but you will discover a wealth of other carnivorous delights. Adjacent to Resto, a Belgian restaurant in Murray Hill, this tiny new eatery also functions as an artisanal food market and craft beer shop—a bodega for trustafarian foodies. Like its neighbor, the menu champions a nose-to-tail philosophy of chowing down, yet the vibe here is more casual and geared toward nibbling.
