The name Lex Yard is a nod to the hotel's physical location on Lexington Avenue and the underground train depot, officially Track 61, that runs beneath the hotel. Steeped in urban legend, Track 61 is said to have hosted secret travels taken by distinguished guests and dignitaries.

The Bar Room is a vibrant space where Jeff Bell’s cocktails pair seamlessly with Chef Michael Anthony’s à la carte menus for lunch and dinner. Art Deco details and warm lighting set a dramatic tone, while the sweeping blush banquette ties the bar and dining areas together.
