Fifty feet from Carnegie Hall and near Central Park South and all midtown hotels, The Redeye Grill derives its name from the infamous late-night flight linking America’s two cultural hubs. The fusion of the two coasts is present both in this grand café’s interior design and its menu. The centerpiece of the restaurant is the fabulous dancing shrimp, small plates, sushi and raw bar – bookended by two giant bronze dancing shrimp sculptures specially crafted in Italy.

Floor-to-ceiling columns are painted with New York scenes by New York and California artists, and a giant mural depicting Hollywood greats carousing in a saloon marks the beginning of the California Room.
