Bauhaus touch

At the foot of MoMA, in the vibrant Midtown district, The Modern is a distillation of Manhattan fine dining, lifestyle, and culture. The restaurant features refined yet unexpectedly playful dishes that highlight exceptional ingredients and seasonality. In the dining room overlooking MoMA’s Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, guests are invited to relish Chef Thomas Allan’s contemporary American cuisine, tinged with French flair. The décor, the inspiration of design firm Bentel & Bentel and borrowing freely from the Bauhaus style, is fitting indeed for a restaurant adjoining a modern art museum. In a warm, welcoming atmosphere, The Modern offers a dazzling array of experiences to delight even the most discerning palates: honeynut squash with razor clams, dry-aged duck with red endive and orchard quince, brûléed bread pudding, along with one of the best wine menus in New York City.
