If you work in midtown, you could pass Brasserie daily and never notice unless you were specifically looking. Once you walk though the doors though, you will have left the concrete slabs of midtown for the right, white and futuristic space that is so far from the archetypical brasserie that you might dismiss its minimalist name as ironic. But beyond the airy, slick, commercial-worthy dining room and bar is a consistent menu comprised of French brasserie classics. Appetizers include lobster bisque, onion soup, terrines, frisee salads and a full raw bar; main courses include fish and seafood, steak and even brasserie mainstays like omelets that, unlike here, are often eaten at lunch in France.

Popular with midtown executives and younger employees, Brasserie is also a fun and less business-esque option for visitors or families of business travelers staying at nearby hotels.
