Le Veau d’Or, an Upper East Side bistro that has been a dining mainstay for more than 80 years, has new owners: the chefs behind one of Manhattan’s most in-demand restaurants. Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr, who own Frenchette, in TriBeCa, said Monday that they took over Le Veau d’Or in April. The menu will change seasonally, though many classics — like frog’s legs, snails and the earthy Normandy-style tripe casserole that Mr. Nasr loves — are likely to remain. “We love the idea of taking over a legacy restaurant, keeping it alive,” Mr. Hanson said. It’s a significant promise in a city where the Four Seasons Restaurant closed last month after nearly 60 years in business.
