Chic Manhattan feels will collide with Latin flair as Chef German Villatoro works his magic in the kitchen. His culinary journey spans some of hospitality's most celebrated names (Rosewood Hotels, Morgans Hotel Group, L'Academie de Cuisine), to trust your feast is in good hands.
Devour endless helpings of Ceviche de Camarones With Plantain Chips, Chicken Empanadas With Green Mojo Sauce, Fried Yuca and Cheese Balls, Ropa Vieja, Tostones, Charred Corn and Squash Salad With Avocado Vinaigrette, Chicken Pinchos, Garlic-Marinated Pork Tenderloin and so much more. In other words, come hungry!
Order a few specialty cocktails or a few glasses of wine (for purchase), boogie to the sounds of live music filling the air, and show off your best salsa moves with the water as your backdrop. Olé, the Riverpark way!
At the edge of Manhattan where the city gives way to the water, Riverpark feels like one of New York's best-kept secrets. Perched along the East River in Kips Bay, expect a rare kind of escape with sweeping waterfront views, glowing sunsets, and a sense of calm that's almost impossible to find in the city. What begins as a night here often feels more like a getaway, with river vistas and an expansive terrace that transforms into a breezy hideaway.
Since opening under the vision of celebrated chef and restaurateur Tom Colicchio, Riverpark has earned a reputation as a destination worth seeking out. The restaurant's unique location, hidden within the Alexandria Center overlooking the East River, has been praised across the board thanks to it being unlike anywhere else in The Big Apple. Over the years, Riverpark has found effusive praise in the pages of The New York Times, The New Yorker, and then some, and it's easy to see (and taste) why.
Seasonality drives the menu, which is executed by Chef German Villatoro (Rosewood Hotels, Morgans Hotel Group, L'Academie de Cuisine), whose devotion to seasonal ingredients and culinary artistry takes center stage. He sources ingredients from local farms (including its own urban farm steps from the kitchen) and creates menus inspired by New York's ever-evolving culinary landscape. It's even earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence!
For one enchanting summer evening, Riverpark's waterfront terrace is throwing a Salsa on the Terrace shindig. As the sun dips behind the skyline and salsa music gets your hips swaying, gather over endless eats, flowing libations (for purchase), and stunning views sure to make your heart sing...
