    There is always a good exhibit and the space is just mind blowingly fabulous. Love the garden out back. Visit Dylan’s before the ride home. Read more

    Get the tarte flambé (flammekueche). It's the Alsatian version of pizza! Split it, though--it's crazy rich.

    Expensive and shitty food. Ordered crispy chicken that looks like fried chicken you can get from fast food restaurant.... Portion is small and so not worth 30 bucks at all. Not recommended.

    Maybe Danny Meyer and I just don't mix. But this, like all the others, seems to over promise and under deliver. But if you're trying to impress, few places are more show-y in midtown.
