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

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Tuesday, October 18, 2022

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

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.
