Cub Room (CLOSED)

This swank restaurant offers cushy style and elegant comfort eats in Soho. Take your cues from the clubby interior and stick to the classics: Slices of pink, pleasantly salty duck breast come with a jammy onion-pear chutney; grilled tenderloin, sporting a proper char, arrives alongside oyster mushrooms and potato lyonnaise. On crowded nights, the host may steer you toward the café or the lounge area. Hold out for the main dining room, where floor-to-ceiling windows allow for prime Sullivan Street people-watching.
