"For an in‑the‑know escape from New York’s holiday crowds, Sunday Brunch here—nicknamed “Ned’s Feast”—means savoring an extravagant roast surrounded by decorations and live music." - Nicole Kliest
"Housed in a Beaux Arts building from 1903, the Ned is from SoHo House founder Nick Jones — and, as one would expect — the Ned too has ample private spaces for members, many of which are accessible too to guests. The private lounge, for example, holds nearly nightly events, including a weekly comedy night known, like all the great clubs in New York, to welcome the occasional famous drop-in. A quasi-hidden cocktail bar, Little Ned, adds to the private local feeling." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Parisian elegance meets downtown edge. Chalamet—equal parts indie darling and blockbuster heartthrob—needs a place that reflects his contradiction: refined, yet unpretentious. The NoMad’s moody, library-filled corners? A perfect fit for his brooding charm." - Ty Gaskins
"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
