Nougatine

Editorial Review

Jean-Georges's little nugget next to his Trump International flagship. Long bar ensures less formal scene, but food's every bit as inventive. Prix fixe three-course lunch is the way to go, with seasonal menus rolling through butternut and shiitake soup, duck leg confit with sweet and sour eggplant, rich chocolate pound cake and sour cherry gelée. Modern, clean space with open kitchen in front, natty views of Central Park greenery in back. Sidewalk seating encourages midtown execs to stretch lunches out luxuriantly. Gotta enjoy it while you can, right?
