La Tête d'Or

Its name evokes a spectacular park in his hometown of Lyon. The restaurant, which opened its doors last November, aims to combine classic New York steakhouse cuisine with a touch of French flair, resulting in dishes featuring the finest cuts of meat and seafood topped with the chef’s specialty: sauces. An exceptional wine list accompanies everything.
Le Pavillion
The name comes from an old French-style restaurant that operated in New York during the post-war period and into the 1960s. Located in the One Vanderbilt building, this restaurant by Daniel Boulud has a spectacular height and panoramic views. One of the details is the huge crystal chandelier that crowns it. Le Pavillon is open for lunch and dinner, with a menu of 50% fish and seafood, 40% vegetables, and 10% meats.
Joji
Also at One Vanderbilt is Joji, an omasake sushi experience in collaboration with chef George Ruan. Joji Box is an extension of this option in Boulud’s New York dining empire in a delivery version.
