La Grande Boucherie

Don't overthink the order. Sit at the bar, get whatever's on the ice, and have a glass of something white and cold. The food is French brasserie — good, not life-changing — but that's not why you're here. You're here because the room is one of the best in New York and most people walk straight past it.

It's the 45 minutes where Midtown stops being Midtown.
