Cafe Ginori at Bergdorf Goodman

Tucked away from the shopping floors, the space has the quiet, exclusive feel of a private club. It operates as a quicker alternative to the store's rooftop restaurant, which typically draws much longer wait times. The kitchen turns out dishes like mushroom risotto, lobster eggs benedict, and focaccia, delivered with attentive, friendly service. Because it is easy to miss on the lower level, finding it requires either a sharp eye or directions from a store employee, but the payoff is a quiet escape.
