Frederick Bigler has been Chef Concierge at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park, since it opened in 2002, and has worked at The New York Palace, The St. Regis New York, and The Olympic Towers.
Thomas Keller to me is just one of the most talented chefs in the world.
Best Romantic RestaurantIt's a small Italian place on the Upper East Side. The atmosphere is very intimate, the food is so good, and not even many locals know about it.
Best WineAny of their restaurants has a great wine list: Park Avenue Cafe, The Post House, Maloney & Porcelli, and of course, Smith & Wollensky.
Best Bar for a Business DrinkThis spacious bar at the new Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle has a great view overlooking Central Park.
Best SteakIt's the same type of preparation as Peter Luger's, but the atmosphere is much better. It's bustling, it's alive. It feels more like a restaurant than a steakhouse.
