"Café Chelsea, at the bottom of the historic Hotel Chelsea, is a nice place to eat steak frites and chat with strangers who might belong to SAG-AFTRA. But if you want to do your own thing, you can book their Cave À Vin and adjoining Solarium Bar. Dinner starts at $125 per person, with options like steak tartare, pâté, rotisserie chicken, and grilled fish. Beyond Café Chelsea and El Quijote across the lobby, the hotel has a number of private dining rooms—see details here." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, will hartman
