Meetings and Events News

Need a restaurant venue for evening cocktails or a formal dinner following your next New York event? New York event planners are in luck, as there are a number of restaurants set to open in the city in the coming months. Best of all, you won't even have to make your event attendees walk outside, as they are all located inside posh New York hotels.

The Breslin

Located in the Ace Hotel New York, Breslin's "meat-centric" menu will feature sausages, game terrines, and even a whole sucking pig, according to Time Out New York. The restaurant's antique oak bars, curtained booths and cask ales are meant to re-create what the former Breslin Hotel looked like 150 years ago. Until the restaurant opens later this month, patrons can enjoy the bar area.

East Side Social Club

Opening this month, the East Side Social Club will take guests back in time to the sultry, seductive 1940s with its film noir-inspired decor. Located in the Pod Hotel, the New York restaurant will offer New American fare with an Italian twist, and the mozzarella, ricotta and pasta made in-house.

Maialino

Set to open in November, Danny Meyer's newest dining venue is located in the Gramercy Park Hotel. Replacing Chinese restaurant Waikiya, which closed in December, Maialino's menu will consist of Italian-inspired fare—the name itself means "little pig" in Italian. Meanwhile, the front bar area will offer coffee by day and wines and small plates at night.

Quattro Gastronomia Italiana

Opening at the Trump SoHo luxury NYC hotel this winter, the Quattro Gastronomia Italiana is the second outpost of the restaurant, the first being in South Beach, Miami. Spanning three levels, the Quattro's identical twin chefs Nicola and Fabrizio Carro specialize in Italian home cooking, including the signature braised veal with white martini vermouth.
