Olives @ W Hotel - Union Square: Style. Grace. Elegance. All words to describe you, if you have the time and money to spend at Olives. Once the hotel doorman opens the door for you and ushers you inside, you’ve got it made, dahling—if you’ve got the cash and the credentials to pony up, that is. This chi-chi two-story restaurant boasts a homey atmosphere with open wood fires, Oriental rugs, and space for just 100 guests at a time. Chef Todd English cooks up succulent dishes such as his signature tart filled with goat cheese, caramelized onions, and olives, in addition to other American-infused Italian and Mediterranean delicacies. Drinks and eats don’t come cheap here, but at least you can take comfort in the fact that you’re among the other rich and ultra-stylish people of the city. |
