Special occasion in New York

I’ve uploaded a few pics from our breakfast. We also had fizz alongside it and I think the flavour of the celebration cake changes regularly.

I also obviously have pics of our Gramercy Tavern meal if of interest! DH also liked it as he didn’t have to wear a suit.

Thanks for the pictures, it looks lovely and I love the cake. It looks like it books a month in advance so I will diarise it I think.

I would be interested to see Gramercy Tavern photos too, thanks.

They book through Resy (or at least they did) so I’d recommend setting up an account in advance - I found the website (via the Tiffany site) easier than the app. You have to be online for the time you want going live (I think at 9am NY time) to grab them.i even did a test run the day before

Will upload the GT photos next!

The first pic is our menu and I’ve uploaded the courses in order, plus the bonus cake for my birthday. We did the wine pairing too. It was the best meal I ate in 2018, and I ate a lot of good meals.

The next course we forgot to photograph (the wine had obviously kicked in!) so stole a pic from the web. 😳

Tomato based palate cleanser!

How about a dinner dance cruise with live music

When we were in NY we did Sunday brunch at the rotating restaurant at The View. The food was lovely and the staff were fabulous but it may not be as special as you had in mind. I love a good Sunday brunch and it was up there with one of the best. The views were amazing across NY. I loved it and would do it again. They also do cocktails of an evening so perhaps an nightcap after a wonderful dinner elsewhere would be good too.

Couple of other possible options:

Cocktails at Top of the Standard, in the Standard Hotel on the High Line (Meatpacking District)

standardhotels/new-yo...f-the-standard

Another fine dining option could be The Modern, located at MoMA on W 53rd. Very good food, it did have 2 Michelin stars, not sure if it still does.

Looks yum. I really like that menu, three seafood / fish courses would really suit me.

That would be a bit different!

Thanks for the suggestions, all much appreciated.

I was going to suggest the View too but although it was lovely it wouldn’t be as special as Breakfast at Tiffany’s I would imagine!

We ate at upstairs at 21, however it's only open Friday and Saturday. Everything about it was just amazing, the food, the setting (about 6 or so tables) the staff- literally just 2 staff who were just so knowledgeable about the food and were very attentive. Would love to return to NY and am following this thread with interest. All the options suggested sound amazing!
