The New York Times has referred to Smith & Wollensky as “A steakhouse to end all arguments.” The midtown, NYC location features a slick, wooden exterior, and extravagantly elegant dining room.

The Chic Spot: L’Adresse

Across from Bryant Park, this upscale cafe is a perfect stop for an elegant cup of coffee and pastries. But it’s also worth lingering in the wood-lined dining room for a full menu. We love the grilled lamb chops with fontina polenta. Or for something lighter, the salmon crudo is a favorite, with cucumber, mango and avocado. L’Adresse: 5 Bryant Park; 212-221-2510
