This year, the French flag carrier is continuing to invest in its premium service, upping the ante with new upgrades to its celebrated first-class product, La Première.
12 New Experiences To Try In New York City This Spring
24.05.2024 - 22:49 / forbes.com
What better time to try new restaurants, bars and shows than springtime in New York City? We’ve said goodbye to the winter cold and the sweltering summer heat is still a few weeks away, making it the ideal season to explore. Whether you’re local or visiting the city from abroad, here are some great venues and experiences to try.
1. San Sabino
Entering the bright yellow space of San Sabino feels like walking into a sun-drenched, beachside Golden Hour, even on a rainy day. This new Italian-American restaurant comes from husband-and-wife duo Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, in partnership with Quality Branded and focuses on handmade pastas and seafood. This West Village spot shines with its use of bold flavors and textures, re-imagining classic dishes for today’s diner. Their Insalata Louie features shrimp dressed in a spicy pepperoncini remoulade, a far cry from the bland mayonnaise-laden shrimp salads we’ve all had. Their stuffed farfalle with smoked chili crab are pillowy and rich, topped with tobiko to add an unexpected crunch. For drinks, don’t forget to try their Scottie’s Martini which is made with garlic bread-flavored vodka, spicy brine and giant olives — a dream for savory cocktail lovers.
2. Chez Francis
Having opened in November 2023, this restaurant is the “oldest” one on this list and if you haven’t visited yet, you definitely should. This Parisian-style brasserie in NoMad is the brainchild of Francis Staub, the creator of the beloved Staub enamel cast-iron cookware. The restaurant occupies the former Les Halles space and dazzles with cart service and table-side presentations — try their Steak au Poivre which is cooked with a cognac flame to wow your palate and your eyes. On a chillier day, their French onion soup feels like a warm hug and is made to perfection with an abundant but not overwhelming amount of cheese.
3. Maki a Mano
There’s no shortage of restaurants inside of Chelsea Market but Maki a Mano shines with tasteful design, excellent hand rolls, and a hidden bar, N’Between, that will stop you in your tracks (you just need to know where to find it). The circular bar seating allows you to look on while your dishes are being made; you’ll be mesmerized by your first appetizer, their golden-hued beet and aji amarillo ceviche. Then it’s time to sample the hand rolls which are placed directly into your hands and the perfect size. You can’t go wrong with ordering one of their sets but definitely also opt for some of their standalone pieces like their spicy crab or fatty tuna and caviar hand roll. Fancy a cocktail after your meal? Head to the tucked away bar for some drinks and to enjoy the stunning space.
4. Grandma’s Home
This new Flatiron Chinese restaurant focuses on
