You better hope it’s not cloudy when you come to this Danny Meyer restaurant on the 60th floor of a FiDi skyscraper. After being closed for two years, Manhatta is back with a new chef and menu but the same spectacular views. Add this place to the shortlist for celebrating your next special occasion, and try your best to get a table by a window. The food is New American, which might sound boring, but the kitchen combines ingredients in unexpected ways. Chilled cherry tomatoes and whipped sesame tofu make complete sense together, and bone marrow provides a rich, slightly sweet contrast to barbecued freshwater eel.
