12 Great Restaurants Near Columbus Circle - New York - The Infatuation

"Eat at Marea, and you won’t know if you’re feeling a lot of emotions because you just saw Aida or because the pasta here is even more moving. This fine-dining restaurant near Columbus Circle is one of our favorite places to eat pasta in NYC because instead of the usual suspects, you get octopus and bone marrow fussili and lobster pappardelle with hazelnut brown butter. The rest of the menu has some decent seafood mains, but we suggest sharing a bunch of pastas. Even though this is a fine-dining spot where you’ll see lots of people in suits, it’s a warm and inviting atmosphere that never feels too stuffy." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, will hartman
