Owner Antonis Karagounis states, 'I'm trying to bring my nightlife experience from DC through all the years into something a little bit more sophisticated, but still vibrant for Arlington.'

"Rather than a traditional theatre, we are creating a garden of earthly delights. Empyrean is a place of ecstasy, artistry and real interpersonal connection. When the curtain falls, the night has just begun."

Owner Sarah Sanneh states, "We've all grown up together. Now I'm looking around... Could my kid be here? Would this work?" This reflects the restaurant's focus on family-friendly options.

The show has set a record as FX's most-watched limited series ever, clocking over 25 million viewing hours. Folks have been especially transfixed by the ultra '90s-cool aesthetics and world-building - the Calvin Klein neutrals, Noguchi lamps, and Tribeca lofts. Showrunner Ryan Murphy, for all of the controversy surrounding the show, has certainly committed to period accuracy.

Chef Philippe Chow remains at the helm and regulars can expect the same hospitality and familiar menu of crowd-pleasers, from hand-pulled noodles and dumplings to the restaurant's signature whole Peking duck, carved tableside with ceremonial flair.

"People come in, and they're just loving the energy and the enormous feeling coming into the Grand Central. And then they see this beautifully designed restaurant that really complements it."

With this much butter, the pate chaud - ground pork, mushrooms, and vermicelli noodles encased in flaky crust - is guaranteed to be good, but it's more than just rich. The sauce that surrounds it provides a balancing sweetness, and you'll want to use every bit of the umami-rich pie to swipe it up.

It was just confirmed to me that our building-home to elmo for 25 years-has been sold. Our lease expires with that sale. The new owners will soon bring a residential building to our neighborhood. Sadly, all things must come to an end and elmo will serve its last meal on Friday, March 13.

Most of them are oddly charged, dramatically staged images meant to evoke dreams, nightmares, or fantasies. Many of the best-known photos from a series with children, published in 1972 as "The Dream Collector," could be frames from a David Lynch film. Much of the subsequent work Tress made was similarly theatrical but tended to involve homoerotic scenes. In one picture, a slim teen-ager reaches over tentatively, tenderly, to peel a bandage off another boy's bare thigh, a moment both touching and wonderfully matter-of-fact.

For the past few years, we've been rounding up the best new restaurants in New York City as they open, with the sentiment being that anyone visiting the Big Apple can get a glimpse of our vast and diverse culinary scene by dining at a younger spot or two alongside the old-school institutions.

Bea is a neighborhood favorite. A mere 12-14 minute walk west from Times Square gives you enough distance to breathe normally again. Inside, it's low-lit and lively, with servers and bartenders who manage the pre-theater rush like they've seen it all a million times. The bar program is what sets Bea apart from others of its ilk with a short but sweet cocktail menu offering novelty and fun.

The latest crop of bars are doing all of the above and then some, putting an emphasis on zero waste, housemade distillates, off beat wines, and immersive vibes. What's also clear is the geography of drinking culture: its clear epicenter is Lower Manhattan, with a few exciting entries in Brooklyn and one in Long Island City, Queens.

readers will find beautifully photographed, step-by-step recipes alongside behind-the-scenes insights from one of America's most storied kitchens. Peet has spent his 45-year career developing recipes, and the cookbook includes some of his personal classics. "The crab cake is probably 30 years or so that I've been using it," he said of his classic offering, equal parts crab and sea scallops. "The chopped vegetable salad is another. It's 11 different vegetables, grilled, raw or boiled, all cut really small, very colorful. It's gluten-free and it's vegan."

Philadelphia restaurateur Michael Schulson opens Double Knot tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18, at 1251 Avenue of the Americas at West 50th Street; it's the first New York location of the Philadelphia restaurant that originally opened in 2016. The sprawling new space brings a 12,000-square-foot, bi-level izakaya to a Midtown corner across from Rockefeller Center that's been trying to reinvent itself for at least five years.

Meeting a close friend before an evening like that matters. It sets the frequency. BLACKBARN proved to be the ideal place to do itwarm, assured, and quietly seductive. The space hums with confidence rather than noise. Reclaimed wood beams, metal accents, and a modern barn sensibility create an atmosphere that feels cultivated without ever feeling staged. My signature Belvedere martini arrived first and immediately signaled that we were in capable hands.

The New York City restaurant and bar where Humphrey Bogart once held court closed in December 2020. A casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 21 Club enjoyed a remarkable 90-year run before it shuttered for good. During its mid-20th-century heyday, the iconic Manhattan venue was one of film legend Humphrey Bogart's favorite haunts.

But we felt that New York wasn't ready," he says, "and New Yorkers weren't overly familiar with the cuisine.
