The Chester

Chef Sam Hazen (Veritas) revamps the restaurant offerings at the Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC, crafting a menu of all-American fare. Before hitting the clubs, fill up on brasserie riffs like Montauk Pearl oysters with Tabasco mignonette, dry-aged Creekstone Farms steak, and roasted chicken with savory bread pudding. The bi-level space boasts several dining rooms, including a ground floor outfitted with black leather couches and white marble tables, and a 150-seat patio lined with white-and-navy benches.
