Aman New York Residences and exclusive restaurant Arva New York
In 2025, Christmas falls three days after the last night of Hanukkah. Many people are looking forward to seeing friends and family for the holidays, but the logistics of hosting a gathering can be daunting. Once hosts all over the country have decided which foods will appeal to all their guests and accommodate any dietary restrictions, they face the challenge of preparing the many aspects of the meal. New Yorkers face the additional stressors of preparing their homes, setting the entertaining space, and fitting everyone into a small apartment.
For these reasons, many would just as soon hold their gathering at a restaurant. Many consult city guides, trusted reviews, and/or travel influencers to choose their venue, but the answer is an elevator ride away for some New Yorkers. Residents-only restaurants used to be a hallmark of prestigious prewar cooperatives - think the Georgian Room at 960 Fifth Avenue - but the developers of some of today’s most luxurious condominiums have teamed up with top chefs for restaurants that even the most well connected cannot get into without buying a home at a certain address.

While residents-only restaurants endow an undeniable cachet, this particular perk has not caught on in the way amenities like gyms, hammams, or meditation studios have. Apartments in these buildings come with an annual dining minimum and monthly restaurant/dining fees; in the manner of co-op maintenance and condo common charges, such fees are scaled to the size of apartments.
When 15 Central Park West was still in the works, Zeckendorf Development expressed concerns about finding a chef that could live up to residents’ lofty standards. But even a Michelin-star chef is no guarantee of smooth sailing: 432 Park Avenue is the home of an exclusive restaurant overseen by Shaun Hergatt, and during the pandemic, residents got restive about its limited hours of operation and an annual dining requirement that surged to $15,000.
However, none of that is to say that restaurants have retreated from residential buildings. Some are exclusive to residents, while many other restaurant tenants, particularly those in hotels, offer special perks for owners of residential units in the buildings.

220 Central Park South has attracted luminaries in finance (Ken Griffin, owner of the most expensive condo ever sold) and music (Sting), and now it can reportedly add culinary stars to its ranks: In July 2019, the New York Post announced that permits have been filed for a 54-seat, second-story private eatery operated by Michelin star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten in a building just down the street from the critically acclaimed Jean-Georges (see below).

In the years since the residents-only restaurant at 15 Central Park West opened, it has emerged as a popular place for Mothers’ Day brunch and watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade live. And when some restaurants had to scramble to set up outdoor dining for Open Streets during the pandemic, the dining room off the lobby had no such worries: It has an outdoor space for al fresco meals.

In an architecturally adventurous section of West Chelsea, Lantern House stands out for its modern take on bay windows. That extends to Cucina Alba, the restaurant tenant on the corner of Tenth Avenue and West 18th Street. The restaurant's high ceiling, soft tones, and airy atmosphere make a pleasing backdrop for what chef Adam Leonti describes as "vacation Italian" cuisine.

One of the benefits of living in Hudson Yards is being a stone's throw from fine dining establishments like Estiarorio Milos, BondST, and Queensyard, not to mention the the Mercado Little Spain market and the recently opened Eataly outpost. However, residents of 35 Hudson Yards don't even have to put on their coats to get to Electric Lemon, a seasonal American restaurant helmed by celebrity restaurateur Stephen Starr. It is part of the 24th-story Sky Lobby in the Equinox Hotel, and residents of the apartments enjoy preferred reservations and seating, catering, and in-residence dining.

The Alwyn Court
While the new supertall condos of Billionaires' Row have literally cast The Alwyn Court in shadow, none have yet outshone this cooperative as far as exquisite craftsmanship and rich history are concerned. The prestige of this New York City Landmark extends to its restaurant tenant: The Petrossian name is synonymous with Parisian caviar, and its New York outpost is home to a cafe and boutique.
