Corner Bar is the acclaimed restaurant at Nine Orchard, a new hotel that marks the rebirth of one of downtown Manhattan’s most storied buildings. In a warm, cosmopolitan setting that lends itself to everything from relaxed breakfasts to feasts over martinis and platters of fruits de mer, the restaurant serves generous, elegant dishes inspired by the brasserie tradition, along with a remarkable wine and spirits list. In a rave, New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells described the restaurant's cuisine as “cooking of a very high order.” Corner Bar is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with brunch served on the weekends.
