Temple Court

Tom Colicchio of Top Chef fame has opened Temple Court inside the downtown Beekman Hotel as an ode to old-world New York restaurants. Interiors are opulent and clubby, with stained glass, marbleized floors, table lamps and grand chandeliers. The menu features hearty dishes like foie gras accompanied by persimmon, rabbit schnitzel with pistachios and loin of lamb topped with olives and lemon confit. There is also a tasting menu for those who want to try a selection of the traditional fare.
