"The Three Key Club in New York City. Expect: The highest luxury and impeccable design in Soho, Midtown, and the Financial District. Within the small club of Three Key hotels in the United States, four make their home in New York City. The Aman New York (Midtown) and Casa Cipriani (the Financial District) both make use of glamorous Beaux Arts buildings, the former a gold-crowned skyscraper in Midtown, the latter a glamorously restored ferry terminal at the very southern tip of Manhattan. Each is a refuge: an elegant, painstakingly designed escape from bustling city life." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In any case, the gushing reviews that Smile received in London caught the eye of the American restaurateur Louis Sherry. After a visit to London, he lured Smile to his eponymous Manhattan restaurant in the autumn of 1899." - Mayukh Sen

"Known as a sceney Soho Italian restaurant, Cipriani Downtown had its liquor license temporarily suspended after SLA chairman Vincent Bradley reported seeing 17 people drinking outside on tables without any chairs, a clear violation of the SLA’s requirement for a sit-down experience." - Tanay Warerkar
"In SoHo, Cipriani’s Downtown has stretched tables all the way south to Broome Street, using the walls of an unoccupied retail store to add outdoor seating." - Gary He
