Transport yourself to Paris without leaving SoHo at Balthazar, Keith McNally’s iconic French brasserie. Since 1997, its grand, mirror-lined dining room, bustling atmosphere, and classic menu (think steak frites, onion soup, towering seafood platters) have made it a perennial favorite for a lively brunch, power lunch, or romantic dinner. The energy is infectious, the people-watching superb, and the ambiance pure turn-of-the-century Parisian magic.
