Says the New York Times of the restaurant: “But, holy cats, is there a beautiful, even exciting brasserie up there at the end of the journey, a restaurant devoted to the pleasures of the sea that manages to be luxurious and humble, ambitious and rustic, all at once. The room has red banquettes and tile floors and soaring walls that lead toward a Tiffany-style dome ceiling. There is white paper on the tables, and glinting little Eiffel Towers of salt and pepper, small galvanized buckets holding napkin-wrapped heavy silverware, all in beautiful light. The atmosphere is festive and urban, pleasant in the extreme.”

Location

The Carlton Hotel is located in the newly developed neighborhood of NoMad, four blocks south of the Empire State Building, on 29th Street and Madison Avenue. The neighborhood, which has only just received its name, which stands for North of Madison Square Park. Formerly an area overrun with cheap perfume shops, it’s now the newest hip neighborhood in the city. NoMad has become a population hotel destination thanks to its proximity to other happening neighborhoods in the city; Ace Hotel also occupies a prime real estate spot in the area. Walk just a few blocks south and you’ll find yourself at Madison Square Park, where you’d be crazy not to try Danny Meyer’s famous Shake Shack (burgers, fries and milk shakes). Walk further south and over to Fifth Avenue and you’ll find yourself at Mario Batali’s mega Italian restaurant/grocery mecca, Eataly. Down a few more blocks and you’re in the Flatiron, a shopping haven whose streets are much less busy than Soho (this makes it bearable, even on a Saturday afternoon in Spring); even further and you hit transportation hub Union Square.  A circumference of nearly 200 miles can be seen from the Empire State Building’s highest observation tower on a very clear day. Madison Square Garden and Penn Station are five blocks from the hotel. Times Square and Radio City Music Hall are within one mile. Central Park is less than two miles away. The hotel is located between the Murray Hill and Gramercy Park neighborhoods.
