TriBeCa

À propos du restaurant

This TriBeCa hotspot offers modern Italian cuisine and a matching modern Italian wine list. It's one of the pricier bars on this list, however, and getting a reservation is extremely difficult. However, if you're lucky enough to get in here, it's well worth the money spent.

Un peu déçu par rapport à celui que nous connaissons à Londres, Pollen Street Social. Cadre très agréable, bon service mais peu souriant. Peu de créativité dans les plats même si bien exécuté, ce qui nous déçoit de Jason Atherton...

Upland

Américain Contemporaine

Gramercy Park

À propos du restaurant

This is perhaps the only bar on this list that's based in New York City but prides itself on its California influences. Changing its menu with the seasons, Upland is located near Madison Square Park and boasts a robust wine and spirits list alongside its full bar.
