Hovering above Union Square (think: 360-degree city views) in the Kimpton Sir Francis Drake Hotel, Lizzie’s Starlight is a new city staple. Formerly known as the Starlight Room, the 4,100-square-foot reinvented restaurant and dancing venue is layered with wrought iron and crystal chandeliers and artwork curated by local art consultant Julie Coyle, including “Her Majesty,” by Michael Kirkbride, and an 18-by-9-foot sculptural wall piece designed as a nod to Queen Elizabeth I’s neck collar. Work up an appetite on the dance floor and sample creations from chef Justin Deering (of Scala’s Bistro on the hotel’s first floor), such as the fancifully named carpetbagger skewers, aka, chilled beef carpaccio paired with crispy oysters and tartar sauce.
