"The Mediterranean food at Celestine is pretty good, but that isn’t why you come here. You come to Celestine because you want to look out some floor-to-ceiling windows and see the East River, the Manhattan Bridge, and all those tall buildings in FiDi where people stare at stock prices on computer screens. This place is located just off the Dumbo waterfront, and the view from the dining room will make you want to write picture book called Goodnight Handsome City That’s Secretly Filled With Rats. Plus, it’s not too hard to reserve, and the outdoor patio is perfect for summer celebrations." - bryan kim
