In the past decade, the freshly developed Hudson Yards district just south-west of Midtown Manhattan has emerged as an imposing swath of oversized skyscrapers dominating the iconic skyline. As these especially girthy towers twist, form into clovers, and give way to massive viewing decks with gimmicky glass floors, many new hospitality and retail spaces have also moved in to answer the demands of an ever-discerning local and visiting clientele.
Bringing down the scale and softening the austerity of this monumental setting with clever proportioning, warm detail, and inherently art deco accents nodding to New York’s deeply rooted Italian-American heritage is the new Locanda Verde restaurant – the beloved Tribeca osteria’s second location masterfully outfitted by powerhouse firm Roman and Williams.
