NoMad

"Daniel Humm of the Michelin starred Eleven Madison Park runs a food program here that is as delicious as it is elegant, all appropriate to the Jacques Garcia-designed surroundings. Choose between the clubby Parlour with velvet seats and Persian rugs or the shimmering Atrium under a massive skylight for your meal's venue—both are a treat. There are several private rooms available here, but opt for the rooftop if possible—you can actually stage a small table in the hotel's iconic cupola."

"This week, The Spotted Pig closed and Daniel Humm exited the NoMad." - Amanda Kludt

"The NoMad opened in New York in 2012 — one block south of the Ace Hotel and its lauded restaurant the Breslin — at the forefront of a new era of Good Hotel Restaurants. The interiors were over-the-top rich, with sumptuous fabrics and something to look at in every corner. The menu struck a balance between crowd-pleasing favorites and innovation, as with a decidedly modernist fruit de mer platter or the show-stopping foie-gras-stuffed roast chicken for two. The restaurant was one of the hottest dining destinations when it opened, and it remained busy for years — as did the NoMad Bar, serving complex cocktails from the mind of Leo Robitschek." - Hillary Dixler Canavan

"Eleven Madison Park and the NoMad in New York; and Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder, C.O. By providing substance-free opportunities to connect outside of the kitchen, these places hope to help change the industry’s late-night, bar-fueled social culture." - ByPriya Krishna

"Looking for more inspiration, Chow decamped from his role and held jobs at other Big Apple restaurants including NoMad and Torrisi Italian Specialties before itching to return to Per Se." - Abbe Baker
