Restaurant Spotlight: Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare

Take one look at the Instagram feed for Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare, and you might think you’ve landed on the account of a contemporary art museum. Pink and pinker cubes of bluefin tuna and Japanese hamachi form pyramids on a thin wisp of a tart. A tiramisu on a ceramic-industrial pedestal looks like a Louise Bourgeois or a Yayoi Kusama — and if these creations by star chef César Ramirez look like works of art, the accolades that Ramirez keeps attracting attest to the fact that they taste even better than they look.

While Ramirez is racking up awards — like three stars from the world-famous Michelin Guide or the No. 2 spot on OAD’s list of the 150 top restaurants in North America — residents of the NYC luxury rentals at 555TEN in Manhattan can venture over to his rarified exposed kitchen behind the Brooklyn Fare grocery store without leaving their neighborhood.

The setup is a 20-seat counter where you can dine on Ramirez’s French-inflected Japanese-inspired tasting menu, which changes with the seasons and the inspirations of the kitchen. On a given night, you might encounter trout roe tartlet, chawanmushi with foie gras, Hokkaido uni with black truffle, Miyazaki Wagyu with daikon and horseradish, white truffle ice cream, or a frozen soufflé.

Ramirez will be present, cooking behind the counter, announcing the dishes as they come out, and chatting with guests. Ryan Sutton of Eater, who has crowned the restaurant “your four-star Per Se replacement,” finds Ramirez as affable as he is talented, a true artist satisfying his diners’ craving for innovation, as well as their palates.

Of this unparalleled New York gastronomic experience, Adam Platt of New York Magazine writes, “It’s a pleasure to watch the chef and his crack staff turn out a 20th century-style gourmet dinner (you’ll find barely cooked lobster on the menu, truffles upon truffles, A5-grade beef flown in from Japan) with a kind of practiced, even balletlike grace.” Critics are raving not only about the food but about the inherent drama of the experience, which, as Sutton has noted, is quickly becoming a New York classic.

The restaurant’s Hell’s Kitchen location, behind the Brooklyn Fare grocery store, harkens back to the original restaurant and grocery location in Brooklyn. This means two things if you are a resident of the 555TEN luxury rentals in Manhattan: The first is that you can peruse the aisles before settling in for dinner, and the second is that you can find inspiration at one of the city’s most masterfully curated food stores any night of the week. Like the no-fee luxury rentals at 555TEN, Brooklyn Fare is changing what it means to live your best life in New York.

Indoor Amenities to Keep You Toasty During Winter

The Manhattan weather might be turning brisk, but the first-rate range of amenities at 555TEN will keep residents toasty through New York’s chilliest months. From Peloton bikes and a saltwater lap pool to a private bowling alley—here’s what’s cooking at Midtown NYC’s most covetable luxury rentals.

Take a saltwater swim

It takes a brave soul to go for a dip anywhere along the East Coast this time of year—but if you’re craving your fix of saltwater swimming, look no further than 555TEN’s indoor lap pool. Not only is it a mere elevator ride away from your apartment, but it’s heated—meaning you can do as many lengths as you like and still emerge feeling delightfully warm. Luxury.

Go for a spin (without moving anywhere)

Midtown Manhattan is wonderful for taking your bike for a spin; the 11-mile-long Hudson River bike path is on 555TEN’s doorstep, and the leafy expanse of Central Park isn’t much further. Still, for those days when it’s too icy to even contemplate putting on Lycra, 555TEN’s fitness center boasts state-of-the-art Peloton bikes that’ll have your blood pumping and calves bulging in no time.

Stay in shape till next spring

In fact, the fitness center at 555TEN offers everything you need to stay in shape till spring without having to once venture to the park or local gym. There’s a Nexersys Boxing Exergame to improve stamina and nimbleness, a weight room where you can make sure you maintain those muscles, and special studio classes to keep you flexible and give you a healthy glow your friends will envy.

Do playtime at home

At 555TEN’s luxury rentals, there’s the cozy option to stay home, cook your own cockle-warming cuisine in your bespoke modern kitchen, and spend the evening having a blast with friends at 555PLAY—featuring its own bowling alley and games arcade. However, if you’re looking for a more low-key evening without the cleanup, Midtown West boasts a wealth of restaurants to keep you fed from the comforts of your home throughout winter—with local favorites such as the delicious lamb madras at Curry India available through delivery food apps.

Sip fireside whiskies in the clubroom

Of course, you needn’t exert yourself at all to keep warm in these Midtown West luxury rentals. 555TEN’s clubroom is replete with cozy sofas and armchairs and its own real fireplace. While you can’t roast chestnuts on this particular fire, you can get very comfy next to it with a warming winter read and a generously poured bourbon. We won’t judge you for wearing slippers, either.

History of the Garment District

One of the joys of New York City is living in one of the world’s fashion meccas. From New York Fashion Week to the street style on display year-round, the city exudes flair and inspiration. Even for the not-so-sartorially inclined, New York is rife with character, architecture, and glamor fit to make each sidewalk feel like a glittering, star-studded runway. Perhaps no neighborhood is as steeped in the lore of New York’s fashion history as the Garment District, known today as the Fashion District.

Residents of the NYC luxury rentals at 555TEN are at the center of this veritable fashion hot spot. 555TEN’s glistening 56-story tower is a recent addition to the skyline, which has been shaped by its relationship to the fashion industry for over a century. The origins of the Fashion District’s current locale date from the early 20th century, when the garment industry moved from Downtown Manhattan to Midtown, and manufacturers resettled in commercial loft buildings closer to department stores along Fifth Avenue. Today, the area is still the site of dozens of businesses that are part of the fashion industry—from fabric and design stores to merchandising operations—and employs tens of thousands of workers in related fields.

The district itself changed with a changing city. Garment workers were able to commute to the area from residential areas in the outer boroughs with the introduction of the new BRT subway line in 1918, which brought service along Broadway, while proximity to Penn Station brought purchasers directly into the area. By the 1920s, the Garment District would transform yet again via new cooperatives like the Co-Operative Garment Center Buildings, which changed the once-seedy area into a desirable residential destination and the fastest growing area for development and construction in the city.

With the district thriving, and space at a premium in the Fashion District, new architectural landmarks came along—upward like the Arsenal Building—to reshape the skyline. As with the rest of the city and the country, the Fashion District faced radical change during World War II. To bolster the city during the country’s wartime recession, the garment union and fashion industry members established the New York Dress Institute to champion New York-based fashion design, sales, and production and to transform the city into a world fashion capital. Another enduring fashion landmark was established in 1944: the Fashion Institute of Technology and Design.

Though manufacturing is no longer central to the Fashion District’s activity today, the marquee names in American fashion, like Donna Karan and Ralph Lauren, still hold property in the district, as major fashion houses have historically showcased their designs in showrooms in the area. The Fashion District also continues to attract fashion industry workers, artists, and designers and has allowed its vibrant past to flourish into the present. And for 555TEN residents, that means a walk through the neighborhood can be a source of fashion inspiration each day.

Dog-Friendly Amenities That’ll Have Your Best Friend’s Tail Wagging

Got a four-legged friend who constantly needs impressing? The amenities at 555TEN are so dog-friendly, their tail will never stop wagging. This part of Midtown Manhattan has some pooch-perfect shops and facilities, too. It’s time we went for walkies.

Parks on Your Doorstep

When you live at 555TEN, you are surrounded by pocket parks that are wonderful for dog walking. Both DeWitt Clinton Park and Bryant Park are just 15 minutes from these Midtown rentals. Then, there’s Hudson River Park — ideal for a bracing waterfront stroll — which is equipped with a dog run, where your furry friend can be let off the leash, meet new pals, and chase tennis balls to their heart’s content. 

Covered Outdoor Dog Park

There are times when you and your pooch would rather not stray too far for your morning exercise — especially when you get to the chillier, wetter end of the year. That’s when 555TEN’s covered outdoor dog park comes into its own. Without even leaving your Midtown NYC apartment building, you can play all your favorite games together, and never feel a drop of rain. 

A Spot of Shopping

It’s not just you who needs retail therapy from time to time — your dog does, too. Within a few minutes’ walk of your Midtown West apartment, there are plenty of great little boutiques to keep your furry friend happy. Buy the cutest puffer jackets and quilted coats from Dog & Co. Find Philly cheesesteak dog treats at Zoe’s. Pick up snazzy leashes and a snuggly new bed from Spoiled Brats. 

A Trip to the Museum

When we say Midtown Manhattan is devoted to dogs, we really mean it. Just 15 minutes on the subway from 555TEN gets you to the AKC Museum of the Dog. Here, you can peruse paintings of pooches, learn about the lives of working dogs, and even find out which breed you yourself would be! Something to bear in mind: Your own pooch can’t come in. Better book them that blueberry facial instead.

An Afternoon at the Intrepid Museum

The Midtown rentals at 555TEN are near to the best of nature and culture in Manhattan. And a visit to the Hudson River and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum will bring you both in the same perfect weekend afternoon. With the museum’s unparalleled collection of ships and aircraft, you’ll get a tactile, firsthand glimpse of history, as well as a chance to take in the views along the river and bask in the fall breezes rising from the water.

The USS Intrepid itself is a National Historic Landmark and a defining part of the visual terrain of the West Side’s river edge. The ship is a monument to history and the U.S. Navy, and it makes for a majestic sight to behold on a weekly jog or morning walk. Inside, you’ll learn about the aircraft carrier’s many lives serving in World War II, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War. Also part of the museum complex is the submarine Growler, which is a guided-missile submarine — the only American submarine of its type open for public view. Here, you can visit mission control and get a feeling for navigating life-or-death scenarios under the sea. 

The Space Shuttle Pavilion houses the Enterprise, a shuttle that was one of the first of its kind and marked the beginning of the space shuttle program. Actual objects from missions, films, photographs, and audio immerse you in the sights and sounds of orbiting the Earth in space. Closer to Earth, but also formed at the peak of human ingenuity, is the British Airways Concorde, a plane that landed the fastest flight across the Atlantic at two hours, 52 minutes, and 59 seconds. The story of the Concorde is a rich exploration of what engineering and design can do at the edges of possibility in flight. A close look at the cockpit and the massive jet engine makes the incredible power and revolutionary nature of this craft tangible.

The museum also includes temporary exhibits that go into detail about specific times, ships, and stories. “Navy Cakes: A Slice of History,” is a current show featuring photographs and grocery lists that reveal the herculean task of feeding an entire crew on the Intrepid, and of baking the giant cakes that were a big part of boosting morale on long and dangerous voyages.

The Intrepid Museum is the kind of place that becomes a touchstone of your neighborhood, a place where history comes alive. Its majestic relics line the waterfront that helps to make the luxury rentals in Manhattan at 555TEN a gateway to the city’s cultural gifts.

Classic Car Club

The people who live in the luxury rentals at 555TEN are no strangers to the perks of one of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhoods: Midtown West. Whether it’s Central Park, Hudson Yards, Columbus Circle, or spectacular views of the city skyline and Hudson River to enjoy from the comforts of home—the best of New York City is right in front of them. But, while the city’s most alluring—and enduring—attractions are within walking distance, 555TEN residents may sometimes want to take a trip on four wheels. Fortunately, the nearby Classic Car Club Manhattan offers its members exclusive access to an impressive array of vehicles.

The Classic Car Club is the portal to a surreal fleet of cars, in fact, complemented by a range of perks from a full calendar of events in the city and abroad. Memberships—including Clubhouse and Driving Memberships priced at $180/month—enable drivers to use the club’s Rolls Royces, Ferraris, Porsches, and McLarens, among other envy-inducing offerings. Take the Aston Martin for a journey down city streets in James Bond-worthy style, head to the Hamptons for a weekend retreat with the top down in a classic Corvette, or explore the foliage upstate with a Land Rover Defender or Bronco with camping gear in tow.

Though residents of the Midtown rentals at 555TEN have their own clubroom and bar 56 stories up on the building’s rooftop, the Classic Car Club offers a private members-only lounge for an opportunity to relax in style away from home. The duplex clubhouse has a heated 3,200-square-foot terrace on the Hudson River, making it the perfect locale for enjoying a post-drive glass of wine or a meal alfresco. The 8,000-square-foot gallery room boasts soaring 30-foot ceilings and a state-of-the-art air filtration system for an added level of safety indoors and is furnished with swanky-cool designs throughout. Members can also kick back at the club’s restaurant—with an evolving menu that includes classics like dry-aged steaks, crisp hand-cut fries, and duck rillettes—all elegantly presented in a sleek yet relaxing atmosphere.

While members are invited to drive some of the world’s best engineered and designed cars on the road, they can also indulge their inner race car driver with the CCC’s simulators. The club’s simulator rooms were crafted by Motion Simulation after years of research and development with Formula 1 teams and are equipped with panoramic projection screens, fully variable driving positions, and the most sophisticated and realistic reproduction of the driving track and the feel of racing.

Whether 555TEN residents take a dashing new car onto the open road or race in a high-tech simulator room, the Classic Car Club provides another convenient option for appreciating some everyday luxuries. To learn more about life and luxury in the Midtown rentals at 555TEN, contact our team.

A Day in the Life at 555TEN

Not only is 555TEN located in one of the best neighborhoods in Manhattan, this collection of Midtown luxury rentals is a community in and of itself. A day in the life at 555TEN is an elegant interrelationship between the city and a home that provides so much of what you need that it opens your life to possibilities both in and out of the building. It’s a way of living that connects you to neighbors in innovative ways and gives you a strong sense of belonging.

In a city where hectic schedules often make socializing something you have to plan in advance, the luxury apartments for rent at 555TEN offer you a world of amenities where chance meetings with neighbors can happen at any hour of the day, opening you to the conversations that often become the most organic and the most meaningful. One of 555TEN’s best spots to connect is the rooftop pool and lounge — a place that provides a perfect backdrop for a workout, a small gathering, or a relaxed hour to sunbathe while reading the paper or a new novel.

The fitness center takes the ancient Roman approach to wellness by creating a setting where staying in shape is a luxurious experience that is as social as you want it to be. It’s a place to take a class, organize a group of yogis to get your prana going, do laps in the saltwater pool, ride Peloton bikes, or create a personalized fitness program on state-of-the-art equipment that “remembers” you.

For a perfect evening of entertainment, you can take on Midtown West and its endless possibilities for adventure. Or, you can find the fun at home at 555PLAY, where you can meet friends at the bowling alley and arcade. But why not have some of both? Head to an art opening in Chelsea, see a Broadway play, or eat dinner out in Hell’s Kitchen, a neighborhood Ryan Sutton of Eater calls “one of the city’s best homegrown restaurant communities.” Feast on flame-grilled skewers at Torishin, the place Sutton calls “the city’s best and most ambitious yakitori joint.” Make a night of it with drinks afterward at Bar Centrale, where Broadway goes to celebrate. Finish off the night at 555TEN’s all-season rooftop club and bar with the freedom of knowing you’re already home.

When you’re ready for bed, the beauty of the skyline views as seen from your floor-to-ceiling windows offers the peacefulness of life high above the city — with the added bonus of double panes specifically designed to keep your space calm and quiet. The high-quality materials in your bathroom, like the Porcelanosa tiling and the fixtures from Waterworks, will turn an end-of-day shower into the centering experience that is found in so many aspects of life at 555TEN.

Shopping at Hudson Yards

Shopping should always be a pleasure—it’s merely a question of finding the right place to do it. Hudson Yards New York in Midtown West is a paradise of high-end stores: designer clothing boutiques, heaven-scented perfume shops from internationally renowned names, purveyors of fine jewelry. Even better, it’s all a short walk from the luxury apartments for rent at 555TEN. Fetch your credit card, and let’s get started.

Elegant Outfits

Summertime is a wonderful excuse to embellish your wardrobe, and at Hudson Yards, you’re utterly spoilt for choice. Find in-vogue puff-sleeved blouses and Wilfred daiquiri dresses at Aritzia. Pick up a linen blazer from Dunhill—ideal for evenings dining alfresco in NYC. Make the most of 555TEN’s fitness center by kitting yourself out in stylish yoga wear from lululemon. Discover luxury swimwear from Vilebrequin, such as the 1975 Rosaces one-piece swimsuit—guaranteed to make a splash at 555TEN’s skytop pool.

Sparkling Accoutrements

Adding boutique bling to your outfits is a must. Pore over diamond-encrusted love bracelets from Cartier or luxe gold pendant necklaces from MARLI New York.

Then call in at MUJI to pick up organic cotton waffle towels for the bathroom and porcelain donburi bowls for noodle nights in your rental’s EXTELL Choice kitchen.

Biking in the City

Summer is the best time for taking the bicycle out of storage and exploring the city. Residents of the 555TEN luxury rentals can pedal to stay fit year-round in the luxury fitness studios equipped with state-of-the-art Peloton bicycles. But the fully equipped indoor bike service station and storage area add an extra incentive for taking up some seasonal (or year-round) cycling and getting onto some of the city’s most scenic bike paths.

555TEN is conveniently located near two of New York City’s most treasured biking destinations: Central Park and the Hudson River Greenway. Central Park is, of course, New York’s premier green space, with three designated bike loops that stretch 6.1 miles, 5.2 miles, and 1.7 miles—and are closed to cars on the weekends for added comfort for bicycles and pedestrians alike. A day of biking in the park can easily incorporate a well-deserved moment of rest with a picnic in the park’s rolling green areas, stocked with provisions from eateries near 555TEN.

For a longer stretch extending from Battery City Park and north to the George Washington Bridge, the Hudson River Greenway offers safe, designated cycling paths with sweeping, unobstructed views of the Hudson River and cityscapes beyond. Cyclists can stop along the way to enjoy a view of the USS Intrepid or enjoy the views from benches and resting spots throughout the path.

The beginning of an epic borough-crossing biking adventure to City Island awaits just a few blocks south of 555TEN at Pier 84 near the Intrepid Museum. The paved bike path near 43rd Street leads north to the George Washington Bridge and beyond the bridge to Inwood Hill Park. Cyclists can then cross the Harlem River into the Bronx along Pelham Parkway and over a series of charming, small bridges to City Island in the Long Island Sound. This fishing village is lined with antique shops and dozens of restaurants and pubs, perfect for enjoying a pint or the catch of the day after a long ride through the city.

Closer to home, residents of 555TEN can take advantage of New York City’s new Open Streets program, which allows cyclists and pedestrians safe and open access to city streets with limited or no incoming traffic. After a ride through the neighborhood, stop for a scoop or a cone of ice cream as a reward for braving a warm summer’s day outdoors—then enjoy the summer breeze as you zip back home.

And, if you’re not yet a lucky resident of 555TEN, finding your new bicycle-friendly lifestyle in Midtown West is as simple as contacting our leasing team today.
