Whitewaller New York 2017: Where to Eat and Sip

This week, Whitewaller New York launches for The Salon Art+ Design (November 9-13). In it, you’ll find helpful tips on what not-to-miss exhibitions are on view, events that are happening, and where to eat, sip, shop, and stay at while in town. Below, we’re sharing our list of top restaurants and bars.

Cecconi’s Dumbo
June 2017 was a celebratory month for Soho House, as it opened its first public restaurant, Cecconi’s Dumbo, in New York. In Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood, diners are welcomed into an inviting space designed by Soho House Design & Build, including a 240-seat restaurant featuring a large eat-in bar with a wood-burning oven, a main dining room, and an outdoor patio—all with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the East River, and downtown Manhattan.
