An Elevated Room Service Offering from Gray Hawk Grill for Beckford House & Tower Residents Launches on the UES

Looking for a great restaurant floors below your home? Gray Hawk Grill (1556 2nd Ave) just launched an elevated room service offering to the residents of Beckford House & Tower on the Upper East Side. Beckford residents at 301 E. 80th Street and 301 E. 81st Street are now able to order brunch and dinner from neighborhood favorite Gray Hawk Grill directly to their apartment door.

This isn’t your typical delivery offering though.  After an order is placed (with a minimum spend of $50 for brunch and $100 for dinner), a Gray Hawk Grill waiter will arrange a dropoff time via a dedicated bar cart for the building.  Dishes are served just the way they'd be presented at the restaurant with no plastic containers of any kind to make this an environmentally friendly choice. Afterwards, the customer rings the restaurant when they’d like the dishes taken back. 

This At Your Door Room Service offering provides a hotel-like amenity to a luxury residential building where available units go for upwards of $27 million dollars.

Brunch specialties include avocado toast, eggs benedict, pancakes, steak & eggs, and a challah french toast casserole. Dinner entrees include Cacio e Pepe, roasted chicken, sauteed shrimp, Miso Black Cod, Norwegian Salmon, blackened tuna steak, and dishes from the grill such as filet mignon. Raw bar options are also available including littleneck clams, oysters, and a shellfish platter. 

Millan also hopes to expand to neighboring buildings in the area in the coming months especially as the temperatures begin to dip and more and more New Yorkers opt for meals at home in the colder months ahead.

Just in time for the holiday season, the popular all-season midtown rooftop will be transformed into a whimsical dreamland of lush greenery, rich emerald & gold tones, 10,000 twinkling lights illuminating the space, florals galore, fuzzy throw blankets, and an ascending series of tiered red, purple & gold florals throughout the space.

Of course, this installation wouldn’t be complete without New York’s most famous flower tunnel - the winterized edition will take the highly photogenic moment to the next level. Seasonal food and beverage offerings will also be available including light bites, a brand-new themed dessert, plus new winter cocktails. This magical Midwinter Nights’ Dream garden at PHD Terrace was created to cure a bad case of the winter blues and will be activated from now until April 2022.

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE is proud to unveil its inaugural  holiday window display, celebrating the new artistic guard and New York City’s creative comeback.  Though the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE holiday windows are inspired by the traditional 5th Avenue holiday window displays, these have a deeper purpose: to revitalize downtown Manhattan which was stripped of many anchor businesses and to provide a platform for emerging creatives. This avant-garde Holiday Storefront Series will take place in SoHo through December 19th, in collaboration with visual artist Shavanté Royster, the disruptive fashion designer Romeo Hunte, and New York City dancer Nicole Von Arx.

Over the past year and a half, the pandemic has decimated the livelihood of creatives, small businesses, and retail in New York and beyond. To uplift the artistic community and bring a diverse, vibrant energy to the traditional holiday displays, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE, who has a longstanding history in championing equal representation in the arts and inspiring creativity, has commissioned these visionaries from diverse fields to transform otherwise empty storefronts into veritable ‘windows of art’.

The backdrop of each window features a winter dreamscape by artist Shavanté Royster, which also graces the label of the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE new Limited-Edition Gift Pack HERE. This Holiday Storefront Series will light up SoHo during December to mimic the holiday magic of 5th Avenue through the eyes of Shavanté and Romeo, featuring live models clad in Romeo’s winter apparel against Shavanté’s contemporary picturesque snowy backdrop, along with performances by New York City dancers and local bar-hopping experiences. Romeo Hunte’s dedicated window will feature people clad in two bespoke designs that he created exclusively for the space, depicting them getting ready for a holiday show over cocktails. Featuring Romeo’s playful sensibility, the garments were inspired by Shavanté’s depiction with the color of the jumpsuit playing off the yellow snowboards, sun and hot air balloons and the billows of the garment responding to the ski slopes. His New York edge is showcased in the jacket and pants look, mashing up tailored, preppy and street styles that tie into Shavanté’s BOMBAY SAPPHIRE-inspired blue colorscape. The locations of the windows are as follows:

Cantina Rooftop is one you won’t want your readers to miss! The Hell’s Kitchen Modern Mexican dining experience helmed by Executive Chef Saul Montiel features a climate-controlled retractable glass rooftop and a beyond gorgeous skyline view perfect for those snowy nights to come.

Description automatically generated with medium confidenceGuests can enjoy fan favorites like their Guacamole, Nachos with melted Chihuahua Cheese, Black Beans, Pico de Gallo, Pickled Onion, Queso Fresco, Pickled Jalapenos, Avocado and Morita sauce, and Enchiladas Con Pollo with Chicken Breast, Corn Tortillas Dressed with Tomato Sauce, Refried Beans, Avocado, Crema, Queso Fresco & Red Onion.

She has since opened 18 Tatte bakeries in neighborhoods and communities around Boston and Washington DC, but the aim has always remained the same; each Tatte has its own individual sense of identity, feel and style but they all stay true to the original spirit – to what Tatte is all about.

How To Drink Like You're At The U.S. Open

Grey Goose Honey Deuce

Today is the first day of the The US Tennis Open, at Arthur Ashe stadium and If you haven't gone to the U.S. Open, then there is a lot you're missing out on. From spending the last Summer Days outside, as athletes and celebrities like Anna Wintour and Jimmy Fallon take part in this 2-week sporting event, it's always an elegant event.

Designed to transport tennis fans near and far to the non-stop courtside action, the cocktail is named after the most exciting moment of a tennis match when the score is tied at 40-40 - coined by tennis nerds as “deuce.” The refreshing sip is ideal for cooling off during the sultry summer days or powering through the wee hours of the morning to see if Roger Federer can keep up the momentum stateside following his record-breaking Wimbledon triumph. From spots around the the grounds you can also sit and unwind between matches at

Our Newest Obsession The Dom Pérignon Inspired Tasting Menu at Morgenstern's Ice Cream

Starting today award-winning architect and gourmand Stephanie Goto and Nicholas Morgenstern, founder and owner of NYC’s Morgenstern’s Ice Cream are debuting their collaborative elevated ice cream-infused omakase menu called Elevated Expansion, inspired by the latest release from Dom Pérignon champagne.

The omakase menu will be available once a week, by reservation only, at the Morgenstern’s Sundae Bar on 88 Houston via RESY. The à la carte pairings will be available each Tuesday from 12 PM-10 PM by reservation.

Celebrating the release of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2003 Plénitude 2 and National Ice Cream Day on July 18, the limited-run tasting menu is a storytelling journey, presented in three acts and titled Elevated Expansion. Presented through Goto’s distinctly Japanese lens, the progression highlights the unexpected and shared linearities between champagne and ice cream. Centered around energy, space and time the menu curates and reimagines ingredients from Stephanie’s heritage, elevating traditional dishes to their second Plénitude.

The seven-course menu pairing concept was imagined by award-winning architect, gourmand and Dom Pérignon collector Goto through her longtime friendship with chef-turned-ice-cream innovator Morgenstern, and her friendship and love of the legendary champagne house Dom Pérignon. Goto collaborated with Morgenstern to incorporate their favorite and nostalgic ingredients – tamago, soy sauce, sushi rice, and dashi – to narrate a one of a kind journey connecting America and France, East and West, high and low in an revelatory way.

“Creating this experience utilized a parallel process to how I approach architecture and the sensorial. My vision is inspired by materials, textures, forms and presenting them in a familiar yet transformed way. The story is focused on something quintessentially American - ice cream - meeting something quintessentially French - champagne – and knitted together through my lens of Japan,” said Goto.

The menu will also feature à la carte offerings of a caviar trompe l’oeil ice cream cone featuring Russian River Imperial Caviar paired with a glass Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010, a delightful ‘toro burger’ paired with a glass of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2006, and a prismatic matcha and red bean sundae cube paired with Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2 Vintage 2003.
