The team behind Charlie Bird and Pasquale Jones is set to open its newest restaurant, Legacy Records. The new restaurant is quite large in size, and definitely takes advantage of its Hudson Yards location. The new venture will utilize both floors and will include a large dining room, daytime cafe, two bars and private dining rooms. The restaurant will occupy the first two floors of a new luxury high-rise named Henry Hall and appears to be a sort of amenity for tenants as well as a culinary hot zone in the making. The name Legacy Records, pays homage to the former life of the building as a recording studio.
The menu at Legacy Records features a seafood focus with Italian styles and flavors. Featuring dishes like risotto frutti di mare, various crudos, grilled branzino and a variety of pastas, it is clear that the menu is capturing a coastal-Italian feel. The wine list was curated by award winning sommelier Arvid Rosengren, and features mostly French and Italian wines. Cocktails will riff on classics and were created by PDT's Jeff Bell.
