With the famous Four Seasons restaurant officially closing its doors in July, Manhattan power lunchers are going to have to turn to other fine establishments for their midday meals.
Foursquare, the city-guide app for discovering new places, helped us compile a list of the top power lunch spots in New York City, using their highest-ranked restaurants that had reviews mentioning "business lunch". They also consulted "Trending This Week," Foursquare's roundup of the most up-and-coming restaurants in New York City, to find the places that have a buzzy lunch crowd.
Whether it's steak or sushi that's needed to whet an appetite for success, Manhattan has a slew of strong lunch options that are perfect for discussing business.
These spots may not have the same storied past as the Four Seasons, which was known to serve dignitaries and newsmakers daily. But for a new generation of power lunchers, these restaurants might become just as important.
