Profile

This cocktail lounge and bistro at the historic New Yorker hotel offers a sleek respite for bar bites and a stiff cocktail after a Knicks game. Wood-paneled walls, geometric lights, and a spacious lounge lay the setting for eclectic eats from executive chef Julian Clauss-Ehlers (Zitoune, Monkey Bar). Meaty chunks of Maine lobster overflow from egg-roll bites served with spicy sweet watermelon salsa, and caramelized Berkshire pork chops come with smoky white-bean ragout flecked with moist bits of bacon. While the “12-ounce Skyscraper Burger” attains its vertical ambitions (the tower is kept upright with a steak knife), sides don’t live up to their descriptions: gratin is nothing more than a baked potato topped with Gruyere, and a piping hot bowl of truffled spinach is mostly cream. Three-bite desserts are also a welcome idea, especially at $4 each, but the bread pudding is chewy and crème brulee forgettable.

Lunch

A daily three-course prix fixe is $14.95.

Recommended Dishes

Maine lobster wraps, $16; Berkshire pork chops, $26
