Café China
8.9
Café China is a Michelin-recognized Sichuan restaurant in Midtown West, known for its dan dan noodles, tea-smoked duck, and other classics served in a 1930s Shanghai–inspired space. Locals, office workers, and destination diners use it for everything from business lunches to date nights thanks to polished execution and a deep, chili-forward menu.
Must-Try Dishes:
Dan dan noodles, Tea-smoked duck, Pork dumplings in chili oil
What makes it special: Michelin-recognized Sichuan cooking in a vintage Shanghai-styled townhouse near Bryant Park.
A two-level Garment District hideaway that pairs a surprisingly serious food menu with a live-music, singalong-leaning cocktail basement. The best move is to treat it like a full night: an early dinner upstairs, then downstairs for a highball and the piano-bar energy that turns Midtown into something warmer.
Must-Try Dishes:
Prime Burger, Roasted 1/2 Chicken, Mac N' Cheese
What makes it special: A garment-factory space with a true live-music cocktail “second act” downstairs.
#4

A Dan Kluger dining room that understands Midtown time constraints while still cooking with market-driven confidence, making it a clean private-dining play for teams. The best orders land around the burger and the bakery-driven signatures, with private event spaces that keep groups contained without feeling boxed in.
Must-Try Dishes:
Greywind cheeseburger, House-made “Cheese-Its”, Rotisserie-driven seasonal main
What makes it special: Greenmarket-driven cooking with rotisserie polish in Hudson Yards.
8.3
A polished New American brasserie inside the Refinery Hotel that’s built for Midtown utility: strong brunch energy, a reliable bar, and a dinner menu that plays classic favorites with modern restraint. The kitchen’s best lane is roast-and-pan comfort—well-executed proteins, satisfying pastas, and a room that makes business meals feel less fluorescent.
Must-Try Dishes:
Brick Chicken, House-made Fresh Pasta, Branzino Fillet
What makes it special: A hotel-brasserie that delivers dependable New American classics all day.
