Upland
A crowd-pleasing New American menu that rewards tight, shareable ordering.
Notable Picks
#1
Upland
8.4
A polished Park Avenue South New American room that’s strongest when you order in a tight, shareable arc—one bright starter, one pasta, then a main that anchors the table. It’s a reliable “bring anyone” restaurant with enough energy for nights out and enough comfort for repeat dinners.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cacio e pepe, Little gem salad, Sausage and kale pizza
What makes it special: A crowd-pleasing New American menu that rewards tight, shareable ordering.
#2
Clemente Bar
8.3
A fresco-lined, cocktail-forward room perched above Eleven Madison Park where plant-based food is treated like a curated sequence, not bar filler. It’s strongest when you go in pairing mode: one standout drink, a tight set of precise bites, then a clean dessert finish before the room gets fully charged.
Must-Try Dishes:
Agedashi tofu handroll, Maitake mushroom skewer, Clemente Martini
What makes it special: A cocktail-and-courses tasting counter above Eleven Madison Park.
#3
INDAY
8.3
Indian-inspired fast-casual built for clean, spice-forward bowls that don’t eat heavy. It’s strongest when you pick one signature curry bowl, layer one or two sauces for contrast, and treat it like a repeatable lunch utility rather than a full Indian feast.
Must-Try Dishes:
Golden chicken curry bowl, Kale pakora, Mango lassi
What makes it special: Fast, customizable Indian-spice bowls with a lighter, modern build.
#4
Sutra
8.1
A sleek, rooftop-leaning plant-based room that plays best in light, bright mode: salads, bowls, and raw-leaning plates that feel clean and composed. The strongest orders stay in the crisp-and-fresh lane—balanced flavors, polished presentation, and a calm pace that rewards a focused meal instead of a long hang.
Must-Try Dishes:
Raw falafel bowl, Spicy carrot roll, Raw cacao cheesecake
What makes it special: A polished, mostly raw-leaning vegan menu built for clean flavor and presentation.
