Formal dining rooms to accommodate all crowds (45 East 82nd Street, #10W - Coldwell Banker Warburg)

From Great Listings NYC apartments with formal dining rooms to accommodate holiday crowds of all sizes

By CityRealty Staff Tuesday, October 18, 2022

In New York apartments, formal dining rooms are most likely to be found in prewar apartment buildings in longtime residential neighborhoods. As new developments embrace a loft-like aesthetic, this typically results in open-plan living areas with enough space for a dining table and an open kitchen at the edge of the apartment. However, as certain designers embrace a prewar aesthetic for their new buildings, sometimes that mindset extends to interiors with grand proportions and clearly separated rooms. We take a look at apartments with formal dining rooms ideal for hosting holiday dinners as well as parties throughout the year.
