THE BAR DOWNSTAIRS AND KITCHEN @ANDAZ 5th Ave. 485 5th Ave. at 41st. St. New York, NY 10017

With the very talented Executive Chef Christian Clark

Valerie is a very New York bar and restaurant. The essence of the city and the vibes of Manhattan island are here, in all their cosmopolitan and relaxed attitude. Valerie is the kind of bar you want to experience after a day of work, to celebrate a new contract, or to bring your best client in a business casual and friendly atmosphere. We loved the delicious beef cheek steam buns and the braised beef, both melting in the mouth. The room was packed when we came, but the service was extremely attentive, warm, and professional, a rare thing in busy restaurants.Beautiful Art Deco design everywhere.
