The MICHELIN Guide to the New York Power Lunch
"Located in Manhattan West, restauranteur Danny Meyer’s Italian spot Ci Siamo sees a chic lunch crowd of executives who work at companies within the vicinity such as the NHL, Peloton, Ernst & Young, and Skadden Arps. The dining room buzzes with energy as of noon and sees diners who are eager to mingle as well as try chef Hillary Sterling’s wood-fired cuisine. Menu staples include the pesce fritti or fried seafood that’s a combination of oysters and cod, any of the pastas and chicken Milanese with caraway, arugula and lemon, available only during lunch. General manager Asher Russem says that the best seats in the house face the open kitchen and hearth. “You’ll be able to watch the kitchen team at work and see Chef Sterling working the line,” he says." - Shivani Vora
