Weekend Wine Rack Jobs in Long Beach, NY (NOW HIRING)

After two decades of success on the UWS with his three restaurants across from Lincoln Center at 1900 Broadway, Daniel Boulud has decided to boldly combine the spaces into one spectacular dining destination, opening this fall. With over 10,000 square feet spanning two floors, the new restaurant will offer a multi-faceted, modern take on a classic French brasserie. Designed by David Rockwell’s Rockwell Group, it will feature a light and airy main dining room with an impressively large central bar, but also an intimate speakeasy and elegant private dining rooms. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant will offer everything from morning coffee and croissants (to eat-in or take-out), to handcrafted late-night cocktails. Menus will reflect Boulud’s signature seasonal French cuisine showcasing the finest ingredients, with a bend towards casual everyday dining and a light twist on bistro favorites. Pre and post-theatre crowds will once again be able to enjoy Boulud’s express menus and seamless service as the perfect complement to their evening, now with even more space and an extra dose of French charm.
