What’s great, Atomix offers its guests custom-designed cards explaining the make-up and inspiration behind each dish. For a more intimate experience, you can book a full buy-out of the space.
Eleven Madison Park
Eleven Madison Park is a three-Michelin-star fine dining restaurant overlooking Madison Square Park, one of the most beautiful spots in Manhattan. In 2017 the restaurant underwent a full-scale renovation and redesign, and now, it looks and feels even better than before. Eleven Madison Park is a restaurant with a twist. It offers a tasting menu that consists of entirely plant-based courses. Each dish here is vegan friendly, from crisp vegan rolls with faux butter to tonburi-made caviar. Guests can also visit a bar for light snacks or to sip a cocktail. Eleven Madison Park features three private dining spaces, two of which boast incredible floor-to-ceiling windows.
Jean-Georges
Awarded two Michelin stars, Jean-Georges is the jewel of Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s empire. The restaurant serves exquisitely crafted dishes blending French, American, and Asian influences. The local farmer’s market is the driving force behind Jean-Georges's ever-changing seasonal menu. Impeccable service, tableside preparations, and floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of legendary Central Park and Columbus — all contribute to an unforgettable dining experience. However, be mindful of the dress code: no jeans, sweatshirts, or sneakers are allowed.
The Modern
The Modern is a contemporary American restaurant that proudly holds two Michelin stars. This upscale dining spot is housed at the iconic Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), so you will get the best of two worlds: unmatched gastronomic experience and proximity to the best art pieces. The Modern’s tasting menu is seasonal, ever-evolving, and full of surprises. Chef Thomas Allan reimagines the traditional tasting menu, so expect unique flavors and forms. If you want to make your visit more exciting, book the so-called Kitchen Table. The Modern offers front-row seats in the heart of its kitchen for up to four guests, with an enhanced Chef’s tasting menu.
