Art de vivre — Manhattan

Around The Edit

Six adresses iconiques, un quartier chacune — à deux pas de nos boutiques.

SoHo🍽️

Estela

Restaurant · $$$

Ignacio Mattos' converted loft feeds the fashion and gallery crowd with wine-friendly small plates that reward the adventurous. Hard to get in — worth every attempt.

Kirna Zabete SoHo
West Village🍽️

Via Carota

Restaurant · $$$

Jody Williams and Rita Sodi's Italian restaurant is the most impossible reservation in the West Village — and everything the neighbourhood deserves. No reservations, arrive early or very late.

LoveShackFancy West Village
Tribeca🍽️

Locanda Verde

Restaurant · $$$

Robert De Niro's discreet osteria in the Greenwich Hotel draws a regulars crowd that never announces itself. Roman cooking done quietly right — the ricotta toast at brunch is worth the trip.

La Garconne
Upper East Side

Sant Ambroeus

Café · $$$$

Milanese glamour distilled into a Madison Avenue corner — espresso that never disappoints, fashion industry breakfasts, and a risotto that makes you forget the price.

The Row
Lower East Side🍽️

Freemans

Restaurant · $$

Hidden at the end of a cobblestone alley off Rivington — an American hunting lodge in Manhattan, found by the people who look. Still the most atmospheric restaurant entrance in New York.

Assembly New York
Flatiron🍽️

Cosme

Restaurant · $$$$

Enrique Olvera's New York masterpiece — the Mexican restaurant where celebrities are seated next to the wine director, and the cooking is always better than the room expects.
