The MICHELIN Guide to the New York Power Lunch
"When it first opened in 1837 in the Financial District, Delmonico’s was reportedly the first fine-dining establishment in the country. Shuttered during the pandemic, the steakhouse reopened in September in its original location and is booming during lunch. Owner Dennis Turcinovic says that CEOs and executives at major companies such as Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank are repeat diners, and the restaurant also doubles as something of a cafeteria for high-ranking employees in the New York Stock Exchange. Signature menu items include the prime rib sandwich, the eye of Delmonico- center cut of ribeye- and the wedge salad with grilled salmon. The best table in the house, he says, is 10. Located near the exit door in the rear of the main dining room, it overlooks the entire space. The bar area is also popular. “Table 30 seats eight and is the center point of the bar. It’s where larger parties request to sit,” says Turcinovic." - Shivani Vora
