Experience Overview

Dining in New York is theater, and the best seats are always at the counter. Join Bianca, a Manhattan creative with a sharp eye for beauty and style, for an evening dedicated to culinary artistry and downtown atmosphere in the heart Manhattan's Financial District. The evening begins at Manhatta, a celebrated destination perched sixty floors above Lower Manhattan where breathtaking panoramic views meet exceptional cuisine. This modern New York restaurant draws on traditional techniques and global influences to create a three-course seasonal dinner with wine pairings that celebrate the versatility of local ingredients through a culinary approach that feels both familiar and inventive. Bianca brings a unique perspective on the intersection of style and sustenance, turning dinner into a conversation about aesthetics, flavor, and the city’s evolving culture. Following the meal, the experience transitions from the warmth of the kitchen to the glamour of the night. A short stroll leads to House of the Red Pearl, Jean-Georges Vongerichten's hidden gem tucked away on the second floor of the Tin Building. Discovered through a velvet curtain, this clandestine restaurant features intricate gold wallpaper, plush blue velvet banquettes, and glowing lantern-like fixtures. Over a final nightcap in this intimate speakeasy-style setting, Bianca and guests will debrief on the meal and soak in the energy of the downtown scene.
