Providence: The high arched ceiling and wooden rafters pay homage to Providence’s former life as a Baptist church, while the multiple lounges and downstairs dance club, Triumph Room, nods to its time as Le Bar Bat. The cuisine at the posh main-floor restaurant spans both sides of the Atlantic—hitting Portugal, Italy, and France on the way—and throws in even more surprises with random dishes like the Shanghai lobster tail. Fresh-squeezed juices are used at the Wave Lounge bar for cocktails like the Providence, vodka mixed with pomegranate and pineapple juices, or the 57th Street Peach with fresh peach nectar. Take it upstairs to the swank Madeira Suite, which is perfect for private dining and drinking. Yeah, there’s a lot going on here. But look at it this way—you can do it all in one night without ever having to get your group into a cab. |
