My pick: “Eleven Madison Park”, Flat Iron District, New York, NY
Category: Lunch, Dinner
Occasion: Entertaining VIP Clients, Celebrating a Win!
Why: “You have to try their fish, seafood and game. The menu is very seasonal so ask for wine pairing recommendations. Leave room for dessert too! This is the place to dine in fine New York City style. The dining room was once an elegant bank lobby. High-ceilings, beautiful lighting and simple decor make this place a great venue to celebrate a special occasion. Service is superb. Professional and friendly and far from stuffy. Some may recognize the restaurant from a popular episode of Sex and the City.”
