Asiate
Time Warner Center
The view: The 16-foot-high windows in this Mandarin Oriental Hotel’s restaurant, Asiate, offer views of Midtown Manhattan’s sleek vertical marvels and the leafy urban oasis of Central Park. From the elegant 35th-floor dining room, the buzz of the city recedes, leaving a glittering otherworldly metropolis.
The food: Chef Toni Robertson, a native of Burma, brings subtle Asian flavors and classical French training to the menu, with entrees like black bass with stir-fried Asian vegetables and ginger-lemongrass infused consommé, as well as roasted duck breast with five-spiced miso glaze.
Tip: For a drink, a snack or afternoon tea, try the Mandarin Oriental’s 35th floor Lobby Lounge, which also offers breathtaking views.
