Affinia Hotel Collection: With tons of greenery and plenty of spaces to sit and relax, the High Line Park is a great place to take a stroll or spend a day – and the views aren’t bad, either!

New American Restaurant · Financial District · 48 tips and reviews
Julie Soscia: Great views and food is tasty. Can't go wrong with Danny Meyer. For now, tasting menu is the only option.
Rock Raines: Food is spot on. Loved the rueben and wagyu coulotte on the menu the night we went. Also had a table with incredible views of manhattan and Brooklyn.
eric bornemann: Incredible views and cocktails, but the food and service is hit or miss. Great place to bring out of town guests for that nyc “wow” factor. Faux-Pastrami appetizer is the best thing on the menu.
