What\u2019s the big deal about an expensive, 80-seat restaurant opening on the second floor of a Midtown office building?<\/p>\n

Daniel Boulud\u2019s Le Pavillon<\/a> is only the most important new restaurant in New York City\u2019s history. When it bows on Wednesday at One Vanderbilt, the soaring new skyscraper next to Grand Central Terminal, it will answer a question that\u2019s crucial to the Big App<\/a>le\u2019s post-pandemic destiny:<\/p>\n

Can Midtown\u2019s indispensable adult dining scene be saved? Without it, the city\u2019s and perhaps the world\u2019s most important business district \u2013 where offices remain almost 80 percent empty \u2013 is doomed.<\/p>\n

If customers flip for dishes like Boulud\u2019s hazel parsley-crusted poached oysters Vanderbilt, and flock to its gorgeous, four-sided bar with Chrysler Building views, it will mark a triumphant return to the area of fine cuisine served with casual grace in a magnificent setting.<\/p>\n

Buzz over Le Pavillon will help draw reluctant Zoomers back to their offices \u2013 not only at One Vanderbilt<\/a>, but all over Midtown. A flop, on the other hand, would make owners and chefs think twice about opening another shoot-for-the-stars eatery. If the great Boulud couldn\u2019t succeed, \u00a0even with the support of a powerful real-estate company, landlord SL Green, how could anyone else?<\/p>\n

Midtown\u2019s movers and shakers won\u2019t return to their desks if the only options are pizza and 1,000 make-your-own-salad variations. Empty towers would spell disaster for landlords and for the city\u2019s tax base.<\/p>\n

In the past year of unprecedented tragedy and economic ruin, Midtown permanently lost the\u00a0\u201821\u2019 Club, Esca, Maloney & Porcelli, Hakkasan <\/a>and Monkey Bar. The fate\u2019s ominously unclear for many more beloved eateries that have yet to reopen \u2013 among them, Boulud\u2019s own DB Bistro, Barbetta, the Polo Bar, the Grill and the Pool, Sardi\u2019s, The Modern, Shun Lee Palace, La Jardinier, the Lambs Club, Bond 45 and Clement at the St. Regis.<\/p>\n

Restaurants matter even more than Broadway to Midtown\u2019s unparalleled concentration of bankers, lawyers, media<\/a> moguls and creative wizards in every realm. For them, theatergoing is an occasional indulgence, but eating outside the workplace is an almost everyday affair, whether for a lunchtime \u201ccatch-up\u201d with friends, a strategy session with colleagues or an after-hours celebration. <\/p>\n

Of course, a successful Le Pavillon will also affirm that classical cooking and white tablecloths can still cut the mustard with the dining millions in an age when younger customers are embracing casual-to-chaotic venues with ear-splitting noise and obscure, brain-baffling menus.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s root for oysters Vanderbilt \u2013 and for every marvelous morsel Boulud can dream up. Nothing less than Manhattan\u2019s post-COVID-19 recovery depends on it.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
