# Coastal Italian-Inspired Restaurants Legacy Records is Bringing Culinary Quality to Hudson Yards By Justin Lam | Published 2018-02-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legacy-records References: [grubstreet](http://www.grubstreet.com/2018/02/nyc-restaurant-opening-legacy-records.html?utm_source=nym&utm_medium=f1&utm_campaign=feed-part) & [ny.eater](https://ny.eater.com/2018/2/13/17008214/legacy-records-so-hot-nyc) The team behind Charlie Bird and Pasquale Jones is set to open its newest restaurant, [Legacy Records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legacy-kit). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-brasserie). Cocktails will riff on classics and were created by PDT's Jeff Bell.
