New York City maintains a certain lineage of restaurants worthy of the old-fashioned term “saloon.” This line began with P.J. Clarke’s, named after a turn-of-the-20th-century Irish immigrant. In the 1960s, a Clarke’s manager and maître d’, Joe Allen, opened a theater district establishment bearing his own name. A decade later, two of Mr. Allen’s bartenders…

IN 2017, WHEN the British designer Faye Toogood, already the mother of one, learned that she was pregnant with twins, she found herself craving more space and privacy than life in central London allowed.
