Fodor's Expert Review Aureole
$$$$
Midtown West
Modern American
An island of fine modern American dining just a stone's throw from bustling Times Square, Aureole is the second act of a New York classic from Charlie Palmer and his executive chef, Gabriele Carpentiere. The dining room (prix-fixe menus only), with its abundance of flowers, is the place to hobnob with expense-account diners and pretheater revelers. A welcoming front barroom with à la carte options serves a more casual, yet still refined menu with dishes like a cheddar-bacon burger with pickled-ramp mayonnaise.
