Drinks & Dining

There are several restaurants close to the hotel including the following: Rosemary’s Midtown When people talk romantically about the charm of the Italian countryside, this is what they mean. In New York, Rosemary’s has become synonymous with a lovely time, due in large part to their handmade pastas and sourdough pizzas, and their impeccable, warm service. 825 3rd Avenue New York, NY 10022 Distance from hotel: 0.1 miles Gyu-Kaku Midtown This NYC-centric chain of Japanese steakhouses gets great reviews for its very unique approach to their steaks. Guests have the option of sitting at a table with a stove embedded in the center so they can barbeque their meat to their own liking. It’s ideal for groups who love a fun and interactive dining experience. 805 3rd Ave #2, New York, NY 10022 Distance from hotel: 0.1 miles Aretsky’s Patroon This classic, white-clothed American steakhouse offers not only delicious steaks, but also an extensive menu of classic, well-loved American fare. True to the steakhouse ethos, food and drink here skew towards the decadent: a lobster BLT, a Wagyu sirloin served with truffled hand-cut fries, and, for dessert, a butterscotch pot de creme. After dinner, head up to the larger bar on the roof for cognac and cigars. 160 E 46th St, New York, NY 10017 Distance from hotel: 0.5 miles Il Postino This upscale pan-Italian restaurant delivers on the high quality food promised by the décor and prices. Attentive staff and an impressive menu make this Italian restaurant a must for any food-lovers visiting the city. Looking for a date-night spot?
