Where To Have A Graduation Lunch Or Dinner

"Perfect For: Lunch, Dinner Maybe your family is staying in Midtown, or maybe they just think that Midtown is the coolest part of New York City, and you don’t have the heart to tell them they’re wrong. For an upscale lunch or dinner in the general area, try The Nomad. It’s just a few blocks south of Midtown, and it’s a big, impressive space with lots of rugs and curtains. It feels kind of like the wing of an old-school mansion, and the menu is made up of things like pasta, steak, and a whole roast chicken stuffed with foie gras. Try it for a fancy lunch when you want to sit on a leather chair beneath a big skylight." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, matt tervooren
