They're destinations, not amenities
In New York, the great hotel dining rooms — The Mark, the Palm Court, and their peers — are restaurants people cross the city for. Their menus carry the same weight as any standalone fine-dining institution.
Prices are hard to pin down
Menus change with the seasons and prices move with them. We collect the reported figures, date them honestly, and tell you when sources disagree — so there are no surprises at the table.
Original writing, always
We never copy a restaurant's menu text or photos. Every guide here is written in our own words from publicly reported facts — an independent second opinion, not a reprint.
A note on prices
All prices on this site are reported as of September 2026, gathered from the restaurants' official published materials and reputable public sources. Menus and prices change frequently — please verify with the restaurant before visiting.
