"Starting April 2025, The Frick Collection is back in its original Upper East Side mansion after a five-year renovation. Once you’ve properly acquainted yourself with the resident Rembrandts and Vermeers, Cafe Commerce is a natural next stop for lunch or dinner. The American/French classics are crowd-pleasing. (Think golden-fried slabs of chicken schnitzel and glossy rigatoni carbonara.) And there’s a 19-foot-long mural over the bar if you somehow haven’t yet had your fill of admiring paintings. Though the crowning artistic achievement here is actually the towering, four-layer coconut cake." - neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
