February 17, 2023
Whether you’re planning an intimate date night for two or entertaining loved ones from out of town, New York City is always brimming with enticing restaurant options. As we settle in 2023, a slew of new arrivals have appeared in nearly each bustling neighborhood, and Galerie has compiled the sleekest new restaurants that perfectly blend sophisticated cuisine with striking design that are must-visits for locals and tourists alike.
LA MARCHANDE
Located within the chic new Wall Street Hotel, Michelin-starred chef John Fraser’s La Marchande brings an upscale elegance to the Financial District and is an ideal spot for those seeking after-work drinks or a special group dinner. The menu features dishes inspired by classic French brassieres, where staples including honey roasted duck and grilled lobster join more whimsical plates such as French onion dumplings and beef summer rolls. For libations, start the meal off with the restaurant’s impressive vermouth flight, where each selection is carefully paired with complementary cinnamon sticks, citrus, and mint to enhance the experience. The eatery’s impressive French-focused wine list, which features over 100 options, also cannot be missed.
Overseen by New York–based studio Charles & Co., the design features heavily patterned wall coverings from Watts of Westminster, which give a Café Society ambiance. For the impressive bar and parlor area, green marble and antique brass mirrors overlook the ornate wooden bar with mother-of-pearl inlay.
