Monterey

Tucked between Park and Madison on 50th Street, new hot spot Monterey is the perfect mixture of downtown cool and uptown class. Cozy up in one of their velvet booths and prepare to indulge. Instruct your server on precisely how you'd like your sip straight up with their Martini Cart, strategize with your seat mates over who will get the Porcini Lasagna - which comes absolutely drenched in truffles - the Fried Lobster, the Montauk Tilefish, and the pièce-de-résistance, the Prime Rib, carved to your liking table-side.
