The dining room
For Daniel Boulud, a great brasserie is about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about the energy of a room, the pleasure of a long meal and the sense that there’s always a reason to come back. Now, the celebrated French chef is bringing that spirit to the Upper West Side with the opening of Brasserie Boulud, a new restaurant at 1900 Broadway, directly across from Lincoln Center. The address will be familiar to neighborhood diners. The space, previously home to Boulud Sud, Bar Boulud and Épicerie Boulud, has been reimagined as a single, expansive destination for French dining. Designed by architect David Rockwell, the restaurant pairs the easy conviviality of a Parisian brasserie with a distinctly New York sensibility. A floating oval bar commands the main dining room, surrounded by a mix of seating, from intimate two-tops to leather-lined booths. Cerused-oak arches, a zinc-topped bar and glowing chandeliers lend the space a polished but relaxed feel. Outside, café seating extends the restaurant’s lively atmosphere onto Broadway. brasserieboulud.com
