The menu celebrates seasonal food and local ingredients, drawing on his deep relationships with regional farms and purveyors. Lex Yard evokes New York City’s vibrant energy in a glamorous Art Deco setting, while redefining Midtown dining and American cuisine.

A Seasonally Inspired American Brasserie

Open for all-day service, Lex Yard features a lively bar and a contemporary dining room that invites guests and locals alike to indulge in Chef Anthony’s seasonal cuisine via an seasonal market menu or his four-course Market Menu.

A Legendary Arrival

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.

Bar Room

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.

Dining Room

Upstairs, the elegant dining room offers à la carte breakfast and dinner, providing a refined stage for Chef Anthony’s expressive, ingredient-driven American cuisine. In the evening, guests can choose from an evolving à la carte selection or opt for the seasonal chef-curated market menu.

“A dish that’s successful on this menu is one that lives up to the elegance of this place, that speaks that language of seasonality but also is simple enough to be memorable.”– Chef Michael Anthony
