The Neighborhood's New Secret Restaurant!

Hidden away on the ground floor of the Alexandria Center, on the quiet corner of 1st avenue and 29th street, is Kips Bay's latest well-kept secret. If you've lived in the neighborhood long, you're used to finding hidden gems that others are not willing to trek "all the way" to the East River to find. Well, here's another one for your list! Moderately priced and exceptionally delicious, Tom Colicchio's new Riverpark restaurant is the place to eat for locals...and for outsiders who can find it.

Boasting a stunning river view, an elegant setting and a menu to match, Riverpark is the new restaurant in the 'hood for any occasion, from special family dinners to work lunches to intimate dates. The New York Times gives it two stars and a rave review.

Try the mackerel escabeche on crispy paella with Iberico ham and aioli, or the braised octopus with cockles, shishito peppers, lime, and cilantro...really, there's not a miss on the menu. This is a place to take anybody you want to impress...or anybody you really just like! Experience it now because like all secrets that are too good to be kept, this one is bound to get out soon.
