L'Absinthe Brasserie-Restaurant

Nestled at the corner of Park Avenue and 63rd Street, this Upper East Side gem serves innovative American cuisine crafted by Chef Neil Murphy in an elegantly renovated dining room. Expect impeccable service, an impressive wine program, and desserts that rival the main event—courtesy of pastry chef Richard Leach's creative touch.

The restaurant offers a menu and ambiance combining the best of French food and design in a casually elegant style. Named for the local cafe Daniel Boulud's family ran on their farm outside Lyon, France at the turn of the century, Cafe Boulud reflects the same spirit of conviviality that made the original spot a regular village meeting place.

Charlie Palmer's unabashed, energetic signature Progressive American cuisine first took root in the original townhouse location of Aureole, where the chef made an early commitment to farm over factory food. Today, Aureole shines at the spectacular Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park, the most environmentally advanced skyscraper in the world.

Escape to this bright Upper East Side seafood haven with skylight-flooded dining and coastal charm. Dive into pristine raw bar selections, innovative sushi rolls, and perfectly executed dishes like Maryland crab cakes and Cajun lobster that rival any seaside destination.
