Food and drink at Ace Hotel New York

• Hotel restaurant

  The Breslin (named after Ace’s previous hotel incarnation) showcases the nose-to-tail culinary carnality of Spotted Pig founders April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman. Taking its style cues from low-key 19th-century bars and saloons, the restaurant is rich in mahogany and period detailing, with distressed green leather upholstery, reclaimed wood floors and, given the meaty menu, an appropriately masculine atmosphere. Pull up one of the royal blue or candy apple green quilted leather stools lining the old school bar at the John Dory Oster Bar. This throwback dining den is an homage to the shucking shacks of the past. Cocktails are crafted by the master of the shaker, Sasha Petraske of Milk & Honey fame. There's a Stumptown coffee shop in the lobby, too.
