NoMad

Daniel Humm and Will Guidara—the award-winning team behind the fine-dining institution Eleven Madison Park—prove they are equally adept in creating an exceptional, yet less formal, dining experience at the NoMad, a hotel restaurant that has become a destination in and of itself. Go early and have a cocktail at the stately, mahogany Elephant Bar—the bartenders have mastered seasonal reinvention of the classics—while you wait for a table in one of the restaurant's elegant, yet intimate dining rooms. The food is elevated but approachable: Humm's signature dish is whole-roasted chicken for two stuffed with brioche, foie gras, and black truffles.
