Marea Reservations

Michael White's Italian seafood restaurant on Central Park South has held three New York Times stars and multiple Michelin recognitions since opening in 2009, including the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant. The room is dressed in Indonesian rosewood and runs at a consistently high level: raw branzino with pistachio and crispy garlic, casarecce with lump crab and uni puree, the red wine braised octopus fusilli that has become the signature. A power crowd restaurant that earns the designation. DoorDash drops at 9 AM, 14 days out.
