In the heart of Chelsea, overlooking the Hudson River waterfront with great views of Little Island NYC, City Winery’s Barrel Room Restaurant & Wine Bar is a welcoming space to relax and unwind during lunch or dinner. The restaurant features a wood-fired pizza bar and a full-service craft coffee and espresso bar. The menu is wine-inspired, globally-influenced, and locally-sourced, perfect for pairing with City Winery’s own vintages, extensive wine offerings, craft beer and cocktails and more. As Manhattan's only fully-operational winery, the menu features over a dozen tap wine options, preserved in stainless steel kegs in a temperature-controlled environment for optimum freshness with every glass. The tap system, developed by City Winery’s Master Winemaker David Lecomte, has been recognized for its “green” approach with no need for bottling, corks or labels; and therefore, minimal impact on the environment.

Marlow & Sons restaurateur Mark Firth takes the historic Sherman Zwicker schooner to sea with a full-on oyster bar and a menu of small plates to go with the gentle lull of the Hudson and the views of Manhattan and New York's skylines.

Recreating the streets of the lower reaches of Hell's Kitchen, Michelin starred Carbone brings authentic Italian-American cuisine with delicious daily specials to Manhattan. Created by the folks behind the beloved Torrisi Italian Specialties brand, the restaurant recalls 50s-era Italian joints with a menu of familiar favorites and—no joke—floor tiles based on a scene from The Godfather. With a staff seem culled from central casting, along with the generous portions, guests may feel as though they actually are in the movie.

Pizzeria from the folks behind renowned Lucali, the beloved pizza of choice for Jay-Z – and that man knows what is what. Classic pies, with fresh ingredients in comfy 40 seat space where you can watch the artisans craft your meal, fall into a revere starring into the wood burning stove, or look around (discreetly!) for celebrity diners. Unlike Lucali, wine (at very reasonable prices) and beer are served.

Lafayette is a grand brasserie and bakery in the French tradition but with a modern, softer touch. Housed inside an iconic landmark NoHo building originally designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh, the main dining room is surrounded by towering arched windows and filled with natural light.

Some dishes are signatures and some salute tradition.

Spécialités like Short Rib Daube and TripesBourguignon are answered by provincial dishes like Wood Grilled Local Troutwith savoy cabbage and dijon and Rotisserie Chicken for Two with sauce au vinaigre. Jen Yee’s desserts are inspired classics, like Gateau Marjolaine and an orange-scented Ile Flottante with crème anglaise.

Massive Italian spot in the ultra hip Maritime Hotel from the celebrated duo Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich. A modern take on the traditional Italian trattoria, meant to have the feel of fine dining, but the gusto of casual Italian. Large beautiful bar is the inviting centerpiece. Portuguese tiles decorate the floor and 38 foot long Caesarstone bar rests under high ceilings giving the space an expansive airey feel that invites guests to enjoy a drink at the very least. The bar connects two large dining rooms and is flanked by open patio that seats up to 100.
