SCOUTING MISSION

NEW York is about to get another top-rated French chef. Yannick Alleno, who runs the kitchen at Le Meurice hotel in Paris, is scouting Manhattan locations, reports The Post’s Braden Keil. The three-star Michelin-rated chef was recently in town to cook lunch and dinner in the private dining loft of Mauboussin jewelers on Madison Avenue. “I would love to have a presence here,” Alleno told a group of notable New Yorkers. “I’m negotiating on a couple of places.” Alleno would join other prominent globe-trotting Parisians including Alain Ducasse and Joel Robuchon who have eateries here.
