Pastry Sous Chef

After two decades of success on the UWS with his three restaurants across from Lincoln Center at 1900 Broadway, Daniel Boulud has decided to boldly combine the spaces into one spectacular dining destination, opening this spring. With over 10,000 square feet spanning two floors, the new restaurant will offer a multi-faceted, modern take on a classic French brasserie. Designed by David Rockwell’s Rockwell Group, it will feature a light and airy main dining room with an impressively large central bar, as well as an intimate speakeasy and elegant private dining rooms. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the restaurant will offer everything from morning coffee and croissants (to eat in or take out) to handcrafted late-night cocktails. Menus will reflect Boulud’s signature seasonal French cuisine, showcasing the finest ingredients, with a bend towards casual everyday dining and a light twist on bistro favorites. Pre-and post-theatre crowds will once again be able to enjoy Boulud’s express menus and seamless service as the perfect complement to their evening, now with even more space and an extra dose of French charm.
