Dine with stunning East River views; enjoy creative American cuisine
"Stunning views of the East River are part of the draw at this stylish American spot with a seafood-focused menu. Littleneck clam linguini with pickled mushroom and chile breadcrumbs; steelhead trout with black kale, green garlic, and chanterelles; and seasonal fish for two with shaved fennel, grapefruit and crispy potatoes; can be enjoyed with a group of up to 14 at a table along the window, or in the raised center full of comfy banquettes that hold 55. Don’t worry if your party has different vintage preferences; there is a large selection of wines by the glass." - Eater Staff
"Riverpark is a restaurant in the bottom of a big office building on the far eastern end of 29th Street. It’s an upscale place where you can eat with some family members or doctors who work at a nearby hospital - and, if you just want to have a drink, it has a casual outdoor area with a view of the East River (and the FDR). It’s called the Beer Garden, and despite the name, you can also have wine and cocktails here. So if you want to escape from other people for an afternoon, stop by, grab a big picnic table, and play tic-tac-toe here." - bryan kim
"Tom Colicchio temporarily closed Riverpark as part of a coordinated action due to the coronavirus outbreak." - Ryan Sutton
"Tom Colicchio says his company’s revenue is down as much as 70 percent between event cancellations and slow hotel business. While his longtime American restaurant Craft has remained more stable, his FiDi restaurant Temple Court is in a hotel and his Midtown business Riverpark caters conferences and events nearly weekly." - Serena Dai
"Unless you’re a security guard at the UN, you probably don’t spend much time on the East River between the East Village and Upper East Side. So you might not know about Riverpark, an upscale new American spot next to Bellevue Hospital at the east end of Kips Bay. It’s a good after-work Happy Hour option, when you can share buckets of beer outside in the connected beer garden, or take advantage of Happy Hour at the bar, which has the same views of Brooklyn and Queens thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows." - matt tervooren
