Midtown-Times Square
Vibes: Luxury Dining Elite Business Lunch Power Players Date Night Magic
A Michelin-starred Central Park South institution specializing in coastal Italian seafood with high-gloss technique. The crudo program and house-made pastas remain the calling cards, served in a power-dining room that feels celebratory without going stuffy. Expensive, but the kitchen’s precision keeps it destination-worthy.
Must-Try Dishes: Fusilli with octopus and bone marrow, Crudo tasting, Gnocchetti with lobster
