"If you’re looking for a place to meet up with a few friends who spend too much money at sample sales, head to Corner Bar in the opulent Nine Orchard hotel. Open all day, this spot from the Estela team offers a memorable breakfast and a top notch burger that’s only available at lunch. At dinner, straightforward, solid French and Italian bistro classics like caesar salad and steak au poivre make up the tight menu. Sure, you might pay $32 for a shrimp cocktail, but it might be some of the best shrimp you’ve ever had." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
"Corner Bar, the restaurant in Dimes Square’s opulent Nine Orchard hotel, is the kind of place where you’ll suggest meeting up with your most fashionable, influential friends. The smattering of French and Italian bistro classics isn’t exciting, but it’s all very good. Sure, you might pay $29 for shrimp cocktail, but it'll be some of the best shrimp cocktail you’ve ever had." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, hannah albertine, will hartman
"Yes, this place is in the annoyingly buzzy micro-neighborhood known as Dimes Square, but it's significantly fancier than most of its neighbors. Corner Bar makes the most worthwhile egg dishes in New York City, and they’re served in a cute, cozy space that makes you feel like you’ve turned back the clock a few decades. The brunch menu at this spot from the Estela team is small enough that you really can’t go wrong, with options like boudin blanc and sunny-side-up eggs au poivre with hen of the woods mushrooms." - team infatuation
"You still have to make a reservation to eat at the bar at this trendy Dimes Square restaurant, but if the idea of eating steak frites and looking for celebrities who hang out downtown sounds like your idea of a good time, we say it’s worth it. Sure, you might pay $50 for a fancy plate of buttered noodles, but they will be some of the best buttered noodles you’ve ever had." - hannah albertine, carina finn koeppicus
"Corner Bar makes the most worthwhile egg dishes in New York City, and they’re served in a cute, cozy space that makes you feel like you’ve turned back the clock a few decades. The breakfast menu is small enough that you really can’t go wrong, but we’re deeply obsessed with the oeufs au plat, a pair of sunny-side-up eggs swimming in a peppery chanterelle broth. The brouillés, which are topped with bottarga and crème fraîche, prove the old adage that you can tell everything you need to know about a chef by the way they soft scramble their eggs." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, kenny yang
