At Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad · 2F
Bazaar Bar
A library bar designed by Lázaro Rosa Violán where the cocktail program runs on the same culinary logic as the restaurants upstairs. Intimate, well-lit, and built for the kind of conversation that benefits from a second round.
Neighborhood
NoMad · Empire State Building
Atmosphere
Books line the walls and the light is low without being dark. The room has the quality of somewhere you didn't know existed until someone who knows the hotel well told you about it.
The Hidden Side
The cocktail team operates under the same kitchen discipline as Andrés' restaurants. Seasonal ingredients, precise technique, a menu that rotates based on what's good rather than what's established. Most hotel bars use the same program year-round. This one doesn't, which is a small difference that shows up in every glass.

About the hotel
The Ritz-Carlton brand carries 120 years of expectation, and this NoMad tower honors that weight while building something genuinely its own. Martin Brudzinski's design uses enough restraint to feel contemporary and enough craft to feel permanent. The building is part of the story: a former Flower District skyscraper that still knows where it stands.

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés
Restaurant
A steakhouse where José Andrés applies the same creative thinking he brings to mezze. Wood-fired cooking anchors the menu, and heritage breeds sit alongside Japanese A5 Wagyu because the selection reflects actual curation, not just premium pricing.

Nubeluz
Rooftop · Bar · HighTea · Music
270 degrees of Manhattan from what feels like the top of the city. Brudzinski designed the space as a lightbox in the sky, and at certain hours, particularly sunset, it earns that description completely.

Zaytinya
Restaurant
José Andrés moves through Eastern Mediterranean cuisine via small plates that are actually designed to be shared, not just sized that way. The sourcing connects to specific producers Andrés has worked with for years.
