"A London hotel import at 1170 Broadway (at West 28th Street) that opened in 2022; it already houses a branch of Cecconi's and cocktail bar Little Ned and is backed by Soho House creator Nick Jones and Ron Burkle. Bravo Top Chef alum and current host Kristen Kish has teamed up with the hotel to run a members-only restaurant there, while the general public can sample her cooking in the hotel’s Atrium (a ground-floor space) and the bar. It’s Kish’s first restaurant in New York — she ran one in Texas since 2018 at the Line Hotel — and she replaced Padma Lakshmi on Top Chef in 2023 after having won the series in 2012 when she was a chef at Boston’s Menton from Barbara Lynch, now closed. There’s no public name yet for Kish’s project, and it’s on track to open in spring of 2025." - Melissa McCart
"You get dinner at The Nomad for two main reasons: the staff and the chicken. The servers are attentive enough to make this place feel like a fine-dining spot, but they’re also friendly enough to make it work for birthdays or double dates. As for the chicken, it’s whole-roasted and has black truffle and foie gras stuffed under the skin. It’s $98, which is fairly absurd for chicken, but it’s phenomenal, and you can somewhat offset the price if you bring your own wine. Corkage: $35 per bottle, and once you reach five bottles, there’s an added $250 sommelier fee." - matt tervooren

"A short walk from the Empire State Building and flanked by landmark buildings, the location of The Ned positions it perfectly in relation to downtown Manhattan and Midtown’s business district. The NoMad neighborhood itself, which has seen tremendous transformation while also retaining its wholesale commerce underpinnings, is also worth discovering. Located in the Johnston building, a limestone-fronted 1908 Beaux-Arts landmark, it draws its character from the architecture of the building it's housed in. Once inside, spaces reveal themselves one after another like nesting Matryoshka dolls, and are served with a heap of Art Deco glam, including jewel-toned upholstery, marble floors, and mahogany wood—and plenty of moody corners to slink into." - John Wogan, Nicole Schnitzler, CNT Editors, Sandra Ramani
"Ned NoMad is a 167-room hotel in NYC that includes dining establishments open to the public, such as Cecconi’s, a modern Italian restaurant, and Little Ned, a Prohibition-era cocktail bar. The club section is part of the Ned’s Club brand, catering to an elite membership." - Tierney Plumb
