New Daniel Boulud Restaurant Coming to What Will Be Midtown Manhattan's Tallest Office Tower

Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to book the corner table at Daniel Boulud’s upcoming restaurant at One Vanderbilt Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. But mark your calendars for next year, because you will want to see, sit and savor both the views and the food. Full disclosure, I co-wrote Mr. Boulud’s 2013 cookbook, Daniel: My French Cuisine.
At the intersection of East 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue, on the second floor but high above street level, diners will face the majestic arched windows and columns of Grand Central’s western façade. Beyond, the iconic art-deco spire of the Chrysler Building emerges from the Grand Hyatt’s shimmering anodized aluminum wall. During a recent visit to the construction site—hard hat and all — the energy coming from the tower felt almost like a steady heartbeat, at the core of the City.

Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the skyscraper is the brainchild of Marc Holliday, Chief Executive Officer of SL Green Realty Corp., and sits on an entire city block, between 42ndand 43rdStreet. Even though it will only tally 77 floors, the tremendous ceiling heights on most floors will make One Vanderbilt the tallest office tower in Midtown, soaring to 1,401 feet. A public observation deck at 1,000 feet above street-level promises tremendous 360-degrees views.
Pedestrians will stroll through a newly constructed plaza between Grand Central and Vanderbilt Avenue leading to a new ground-floor Epicerie Boulud. An all-day café and market, the shop will feature the chef’s signature seasonal house-made salads, sandwiches, breads and pastries.
The new restaurant (not yet named) and its main bar will be visible from the street with approximately 100 seats, as well as several private dining areas.
