Occupying the former Café Carciofo space, Watty is a collaboration between the folks behind Building on Bond and native Virginian chef Sosie Hublitz. The name refers to a ballad by Scots-American naturalist Alexander Wilson and — geo-appropriately — the restaurant's logo (a gold "W&M") has a certain Colonial Williamsburg-ness. Hublitz admits to Old Dominion inspiration but in spirit seems to be aiming for that casual Brooklyn classiness patented by Frankies — and perfected by Buttermilk and Char No. 4 — that allows access to handmade, locally sourced, artisanal pickled things while wearing jeans.
