Chinatown, Manhattan · restaurant
Slip past the cocktail bar and into a dining room that feels plucked from a very stylish time warp—stained glass glowing, maple paneling polished, and curvy banquettes built for lingering. The menu leans Continental—think escargot in Café de Paris butter, duck à l’orange, lobster Thermidor, and daily plats du jour—while the cocktail list (60+ classics) is doing heavy lifting all night. The crowd’s equal parts locals and in-the-know NYC folk, so go for the drinks, stay for the food, and don’t sleep on the Guinness sundae for dessert.
