"At Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Four Twenty Five I tried the off-menu Dirty Vodka Martini fat-washed with olive oil—a technique lead bartender Ian Williford adapted to soften the spirit, lend a silky, rounded texture and impart depth and a subtle brininess, inspired by a version served at London’s Connaught Bar." - Kat Odell
"The Deal: $60 Lunch, $60 Dinner Power lunch in Midtown at Jean-Georges' Four Twenty Five. Or stop by for dinner, and eat some fluke sashimi and jerk-spiced chuck in a yacht of a room where servers in burgundy suits attend to a crowd with well-diversified portfolios." - bryan kim
"The episode's sole restaurant appearance is a massive space from chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten at 425 Park Avenue. Carrie is on a lunch date with Giuseppe’s mom, Gia — Carrie graciously sits in the chair while letting Gia sit on the plush banquette. Carrie is eating some 'huge lettuce thing' while they talk about dating someone with kids; Gia tells Carrie to be herself, which means Carrie should date Duncan. The scene uses the roomy, plush seating and upscale lunch setting to foreground this interpersonal conversation." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Midtown power spot from Jean-Georges Vongerichten features dramatic architecture, designed by Lord Norman Foster, whose firm is behind big projects like London’s City Hall; and Lusail Stadium in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup. An intimate dining room sits on a floating balcony accessed by a dramatic staircase, and the downstairs bar area has 45-foot ceilings and a large Larry Poons painting. It’s the first time chefs Jonathan Benno and Vongerichten have worked together, with Benno bringing his Italian and New American sensibilities to the menu and Vongerichten infusing elements of Asian cuisines. There’s both a tasting menu and a la carte dining. There’s now a weekday power breakfast option that starts at 7 a.m." - Melissa McCart
"We had our anniversary dinner here this year. The plating is gorgeous, the drinks, the music, and the decor all feels very luxe and special." - Edward Barsamian
