Straight Up Gorgeous Restaurants

Guests flock to the elegant Eleven Madison Park (exclusively referred to as 'EMP' among industry insiders,) for the Michelin-starred courses which they can watch be prepared before them from the open kitchen. (Yep, its kitchen also happens to be one of the most famous in the world.)

Experience an underwater culinary delight at The Fulton: a restaurant from top toque himself, Jean-Georges Vongerichten. An homage to the old Fulton Fish Market, this waterside restaurant provides top-tier views of the East River outside, and stunning hand-painted murals that tell stories of sea explorers inside. The food is just as spectacular with a seafood-centric menu offering elevated raw and cooked dishes.

Welcome to Casa Limone, celebrated Italian chef Antonio Salvatore’s glamorous Italian debut in Midtown East, where you can come to savor all things Southern Italy. Salvatore is from Basilicata — aka, the sole of the boot of Italy — where ingredients like citrus and seafood reign supreme. And that’s what you’ll find here in the bi-level space bedecked with blue and orange hues, a long white marble bar, and gold accents. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, enjoy menu items like a variety of toasts and Benedicts, polpettine, sandwiches, calzones, and pizza.

Polo Bar is exactly what the name suggests - a dining club designed and decorated with all things Ralph Lauren. The ambience is meant to exude a sense of shall we say posh living, so if you are lucky enough (aka famous) to secure a reservation here, then you'll be dining among NYC's most elite, it crowd. The bar upstairs is highly recommended; you will feel starstruck, and you are forbidden from taking photos, so savor it in your memory forever whilst sipping on your $20+ cocktail.
