Lafayette
Chef
Andrew Carmellini already has the Tribeca favorite
Locanda Verde and lively restaurant The Dutch under his belt, so fans flocked to his new French eatery Lafayette when it opened earlier this year. The location was key, as nightlife destinations like 415 and Acme were within walking distance, and it immediately brought in a similar crowd of people. The large, beautiful space has been compared to
Balthazar, and celebrities have been showing up to reassert the comparison. It has also been host to several prominent fashion parties recently, including a CFDA/Vogue dinner with
Anna Wintour present.
