| Venue | City Hall Restaurant 131 Duane Street (between Church Street and West Broadway) New York, NY 10013 Phone: 212-227-7777 In the Heart of Tribeca lies an 1863 landmark cast iron building surrounded by century old warehouses. This elegant, carefully restored building is the City Hall Restaurant. Once home to the Lester Pinkus Shoe Corporation, this restaurant now exudes a timeless feel harkening to past generations. City Hall's wine list has been recognized by Wine Spectator with the Award of Excellence for 2001, 2002, and 2003 as well as the recent and notable. "Best of - Award of Excellence" for 2004, 2005, and 2006. From the white pillars that line the exterior to the large black-and-white period photos that circle the walls, it's clear that much effort has gone into creating a facsimile of timelessness. The dining room presents a vista of rich leather chairs and banquettes, with great chunks of meat displayed proudly next to the open kitchen and a raw bar tucked in a corner. The adjacent lounge features a long, shiny bar, exposed-brick walls and a charming elevated nook. There are few surprises on the traditional American menu, but enough refinements to compensate. Starters include a hot, sweet chowder light enough to eat in the summertime, and scalloped potato gratin--a delicious standout. As for the entrees, the sizeable steaks are good; monkfish comes on the bone; and the superb seafood towers (named "Chrysler" and "Empire State") go beyond shrimp and lobster to scallops and snow crab. Please join us at City Hall Restaurant for fun and festivities! |
