Chef Marc Murphy (
Landmarc,
Ditch Plains) peppers his
New American menu with French and Italian accents at this restaurant inside the
Viceroy hotel. In the 104-seat dining room—dressed with caramel leather banquettes and mirrored walls—the
Chopped celebutoque dispatches hay-aged pecorino on toast, butternut-squash gnudi and
roasted chicken with smoked chickpeas from the open kitchen. The bar program is flush with international
wines, with wine director David Lombardo cheerleading halves and quartinos as he did with Landmarc’s renowned half-bottle list. Also on offer are local draft beers (Southampton Double White, Captain Lawrence Pale Ale) and small-batch spirits.
Viceroy New York, 120 W 57th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (212-707-8000)
