Located across from the leafy, historic Madison Square Park, Danny Meyer’s grand New American restaurant is a wonderful, soothing spot. The magnificent dining room boasts old-world charm with vaulted ceilings, clubby banquettes, giant floor-to-ceiling windows and warm, golden lighting. The crowd is equally stunning: a savvy blend of sexy, suited power types and chic, fashion- forward New Yorkers. The contemporary seasonal menu, created by Chef Daniel Humm, features updated American classics as well as a smart selection of dishes that borrow accents from Spain, France and Asia.
