Seal the Deal Meals: The Haute 5 Places to Power Lunch in NYC

Le Cirque

Although the French restaurant’s most recent incarnation is a mere three years old (a power lunch baby!), Le Cirque has been around for more than 30 years. It has closed and reopened at various locations including at the Mayfair Hotel, Palace Hotel, and now Bloomberg Tower, and has been led by many more chefs (Daniel Boulud did a six-year stint in the 80s before opening up his own restaurant, while Craig Hopson is the current executive chef.) Yet one thing has remained the same: the rich and fabulous keep coming back. The restaurant’s 2006 reopening was even the subject of the 2007 documentary Le Cirque: A Table In Heaven. Le Cirque is still run by the founding Maccioni family. There is a second location at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Le Cirque is located at 151 East 58^th St.
