This Week at Home: Fall Foodie Edition

Someone Who Inspired Us

The design of Manhatta, the newest project from restaurateur Danny Meyer, drew inspiration from its 60th-floor views. With expansive windows and four stunning exposures, the restaurant features a “muted and mature” palette of coffee-colored leather and wood, and honey-colored bronze from architecture firm Woods Bagot. “We saw an opportunity to add something fresh to the dialogue when it comes to New York City’s sky-high dining institutions,” Meyer told Vogue. “The backdrop is stunning, but we want it to feel as warm and familiar as a neighborhood restaurant.”

On the top of our list are Estela, from James Beard Award-winner Ignacio Mattos; A Very Serious Cookbook (pictured above), by Jeremiah Stone and Fabián von Hauske of Contra and Wildair; Emily, from husband-and-wife team Emily and Matt Hyland; and All About Cake, by Christina Tosi of Milk Bar.
