Jean-Georges Vongerichten is a name that’s revered around the world (his Hong Kong restaurant, Mercato, is a personal LSA fave), so it’s no surprise that all eyes were on ABCV when it opened at the start of the year as an offshoot to Vongerichten’s ABC Kitchen and ABC Cocina. The Grill & The Pool, 99 East 52nd Street, New York, +2 ![]() Meanwhile, next door at The Pool, it’s a seafood lover’s paradise, where well-heeled guests are given license to splurge on caviar, lobster and Champagne in a stunning dining room with tables staged around the iridescent pool which gives the restaurant its namesake. ![]() ![]() The Grill resurrects some of the best aspects of old-school dining without the kitsch: think rolling trolleys, chefs in tall toques, perfectly shaken martinis, and dishes such as peach melba, prime rib and crab Louie salad. A massive undertaking from the Major Food Group (the same trio that brought us New York-Italian restaurant Carbone), The Grill and The Pool form two-thirds of the restaurant trio taking over the iconic space (the third is The Lobster Club, a Japanese brasserie soft-opened last month).Īfter a star-studded opening night in June, The Grill became a critic pick off the bat for its faultless execution of mid-century glamour combined with theatrical table-side dining. The Grill and The Pool were undoubtedly two of the most hotly anticipated restaurant openings of 2017, a reboot of the historic Four Seasons restaurant space in the old Seagram Building in Midtown. Splurge-worthy fine dining: The Grill & The Pool Emily’s signature pizza will make anyone a grandma pie convert: the browned and bubbly squares are layered with bright tomato sauce, melted mozzarella cheese and various toppings from spicy salami to wild mushrooms - all surrounded by a frico crust of deliciously crispy burnt mozzarella cheese. Making the trek out to Brooklyn has been a regular pilgrimage for every pie lover since Emily opened, and this year Manhattanites finally got their wish: an outlet of the beloved restaurant which opened on Downing Street in the West Village. In addition to a heartwarming back story (Matt and Emily met in college and their first date was over a pepperoni pizza), the Hylands have shown that they have what it takes to join the running for New York’s best pizza. Dough-slinging husband-and-wife-duo Matt and Emily Hyland have proven this by skyrocketing quickly into New York’s pizza hall of fame since debuting their casual pizzeria, Emily in 2014. Like what? (Who made this?) Yeah, yeah (JB made this, hahahaha) Six, six, six, six, six, six Baow Yeah Fivi, Sosa, viral, movie I'm in this bitch with the Wooski Ball in the summer like Drew League Champagne got me loopy Glizzy Bop lookin' groovy All the demons lookin' moody.While some will argue that the best slices to be found in the city are still at the nostalgic family-run pizza parlours passed down through generations (think Di Fara, Lombardi’s and Totonno’s), the best thing about New York’s dining scene is that there’s always room for ambitious newcomers.
