"What’s better than eating one of the best burgers in the city? Eating it in a spot with a spectacular view. At Manhatta, on the 60th floor of a FiDi skyscraper, you can get both at the walk-in-only bar area. The burger comes with just the right amounts of sharp American cheese, caramelized sweet koji onions, and some mayo with bits of shiitake. That sounds like a lot of distractions, but none of the accessories take away from the prominent flavor of the dry-aged beef. For another perfectly-proportioned burger at a Danny Meyer restaurant, try the one at Gramercy Tavern." - Will Hartman, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Willa Moore, Kenny Yang
"You better hope it’s not cloudy when you come to this Danny Meyer restaurant on the 60th floor of a FiDi skyscraper. The views are spectacular, so do your best to get a table by a window. (Mention that you're celebrating something. It can't hurt.) But this place isn’t just about the scenery. The food is New American, and the kitchen combines ingredients in unexpected ways. Choose from three or four courses ($115 and $145, respectively), then enjoy some chilled sungold tomatoes with whipped sesame tofu and barbecued freshwater eel paired with bone marrow." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang
"The view from Manhatta makes every other New York City restaurant seem boring and pedestrian. You can see most of Manhattan and Brooklyn from this spot on the 60th floor of a building in FiDi, so try and snag a table by one of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The menu is New American, and, while that might sound boring, the food is actually pretty unique. Standouts include the barbecued freshwater eel, and chilled cherry tomatoes with whipped sesame tofu." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Hannah Albertine
"If you don't think great views make a romantic night out better, you're lying to yourself. You can see most of Manhattan and Brooklyn from this revamped spot on the 60th floor of a building in FiDi, so try to snag a table by one of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The food is New American, which might sound boring, but a lot of their dishes—like barbecued freshwater eel with discs of slightly sweet bone marrow—have an unexpected and interesting combination of ingredients." - Team Infatuation
"What's Different: Manhatta, another revamped restaurant from Union Square Hospitality Group, had a staggered reopening. The bar portion of the restaurant returned in March 2022 with an overhauled beverage program. A few months later, they launched a new dinner menu. The menu is no longer prix-fixe, and offerings now include stuff like beef tartare with hazelnut miso and grilled lobster with black garlic. Verdict: Manhatta is still on the 60th floor of a building in FiDi, and the spectacular views haven't changed, so this place should still be on the shortlist for your next special occasion. The food is New American, which might sound boring, but the kitchen combines ingredients in unexpected ways. There are some things we wouldn't order again, but we'd automatically get a few dishes like barbecued eel with bone marrow on every future visit." - Team Infatuation
