The modern interiors of this classic New York restaurant, designed by Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson in 1959, have remained true to the architects' vision. In 1989, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission added the restaurant's interior to its list.
The Four Seasons has retained its glamour, elegance and refined cuisine since its inception—and it's one of Midtown's power-lunch places. We recommend the stunning Pool Room. Monday-Saturday for lunch and dinner. Reservations highly recommended. Jackets required. $$$-$$$$. Most major credit cards. 99 E. 52nd St., between Park and Lexington avenues (subway line E, V or 6 to 53rd & Lexington Avenue), Manhattan, New York City.
