Punch

Located in the heart of the Flatiron District, newly renovated by architect Jay Valgora, Punch Restaurant and Bar has a colorful and stylish look. Banquette seating coupled with sparkling candelabras and over-sized, original art from Punch Magazine give the dining room a breezy, casual sophistication. The bustling bar, where cocktails like "Blood Orange Punch" have a dedicated following, is a popular place for getting together any time. The area, open to the street, has small tables for light dining as well.

Chef Matthew Shoemaker's menu reflects his love of international flavors forged with classic technique. An Atlanta native, Matthew spent time in London before moving to New York and the kitchens of Django, Union Pacific, and Peacock Alley. His passion for sophisticated, bold flavor is the hallmark of his cooking.
