Bluebird London NYC

"The company, run by UK’s “restaurant king” and reportedly a cash generating machine, is filling 11,000-square-feet of space on the fourth floor of the Shops at Hudson Yards with the complex of all-day businesses modeled after “the entertaining rooms of an English country home,” according to a spokesperson. The format sounds a lot like the set-up of Bluebird, which similarly has separate spaces that act as a bar, cafe, and restaurant." - Serena Dai

"On the third floor of the Time Warner Center, there’s a big restaurant called Bluebird London. It isn’t quite as fancy as Masa or Per Se (which are in the same building), but most people here will be dressed like they just left a meeting, and the whole place looks like an upscale lounge from the 1960s. The original Bluebird is in London (hence the name), and they serve English-influenced food here, like pork terrine and a beef wellington for two. Generally speaking, it’s all pretty good - although it’s definitely a little pricey, and the service is kind of stiff. So you don’t need to run here, but the next time you need to eat in Midtown with someone who’s entertained the idea of acquiring property in the Hamptons, it’ll come in handy." - Bryan Kim

"Bluebird London is a British restaurant aiming to serve as a neighborhood hub in the Time Warner Center, Manhattan. The venue features an all-day menu, a casual cafe that transforms into a wine bar in the evening, and a sunken dining room with views over Central Park. The dining room offers dishes like Cornish chicken pie, beef Wellington, and fish and chips. A cocktail lounge and a cafe with pastries by chef Jared Sexton are also part of the venue." - Carla Vianna
