Sessanta’s luxury no-fee apartments in NYC offer cozy weather dining delights just moments
from the building’s 24/7 attended lobby. Two of the Upper West Side’s most celebrated
restaurants capture cozy season’s particular charms, each bringing its own perspective to
coldl-weather dining — from hearth-warmed classics to steaming baskets of dim sum.

The Smith | 1900 Broadway
Only a few blocks from Sessanta, The Smith has established itself as Lincoln Square’s refined
answer to the all-day restaurant. Positioned directly across from Lincoln Center, this bustling
brasserie operates from breakfast through midnight — a remarkably late close time for the
neighborhood. The sprawling menu hits every comfort food note imaginable, starting with
morning offerings like their potato waffle Benedict topped with smoked salmon and everything
spice, and their signature breakfast sandwich loaded with black pepper bacon and roasted
tomato aioli. By midday, the space transforms to serve power lunch favorites like the ricotta
gnocchi in truffle cream and their celebrated burger, adorned with bacon shallot jam, crispy
onions, and house-made pickles. The dinner menu expands further with seasonal standouts
like brick-pressed chicken over smashed garlic potatoes and a pot of mussels steamed in
chardonnay broth with tarragon. For theatergoers, The Smith’s raw bar, featuring fresh East
Coast oysters, coupled with their comprehensive cocktail program make it an ideal pre-show
destination. The clean, modern space functions equally well for morning meetings over goat
cheese omelets as it does for late-night sustenance after a Lincoln Center performance. It’s
exactly what this formerly restaurant-starved stretch of the Upper West Side needed: reliable
sophistication without pretense, where the food delivers as consistently as the service.

RedFarm | 2170 Broadway
RedFarm’s Upper West Side location brings chef Joe Ng’s inventive dim sum to a whitewashed
brick space where a central communal table and wooden ceiling beams set the tone for
family-style dining. The menu adapts to cozy weather staples with substantive offerings that go
well beyond standard dim sum fare: truffle, crab, and corn chowder steams in deep bowls,
while the kitchen turns out specialties like crispy oxtail dumplings and Sichuan-style chicken
and mushroom dumplings. Ng and restaurateur Ed Schoenfeld pay particular attention to
seasonal vegetables — evidence of their “farm-style” philosophy appears in dishes like
wok-fried string beans with Brussels sprouts and Chinese broccoli paired with shiitake “flower”
mushrooms. The space fills nightly with regulars who come for the kitchen’s more substantial
plates: Korean rice cake with grilled pork belly, e-fu “long life” noodles studded with morel
mushrooms, and a noteworthy crispy skin smoked chicken. Even familiar items get thoughtful
treatment — the barbecue spare ribs and pastrami egg rolls have become neighborhood
standards, while the soup dumplings, though not strictly traditional, draw their own dedicated
following.

After delicious dining adventures, residents return to a property where seasonal pleasures
continue — from yoga sessions to cozy evenings in the courtyard where perennial plantings
mirror the neighborhood’s changing colors. Ready to experience Upper West Side living in all
