Pelican Restaurant

Set inside the Pelican Hotel between 8th and 9th Streets, the space looks directly out toward Lummus Park and the water. Meals unfold across an elegantly rustic indoor dining room, a sidewalk terrace right along the avenue, and the hotel rooftop for Sunday brunch.

The kitchen branches out beyond heritage dishes with a raw bar dishing up crudo, Neapolitan-style pizza, and seafood-rich plates like squid-ink pasta tossed with clams, keeping tables fed from morning breakfast through dinner.
