Now open in the new Luxe Life Hotel is the hotel's signature restaurant, The Marilyn, which offers craft cocktails, a menu of New American fare and vintage vibes.
Taking over the former Life Magazine headquarters at 19 W. 31st St., Luxe Life Hotel is boutique hotel chain Luxe Hotels' first branded property in New York City. The hotel and its restaurant each pay homage to the heyday of magazine publishing in NYC, with the Marilyn taking "guests back to a Manhattan of another era," according to its website.
The Marilyn offers a focused dinner menu of updated favorites prepared in its open kitchen. Check out the charred romaine salad, the creme fraiche gnocchi with salmon roe, the whole trout with romesco sauce, the bone-in short rib for two and the brick-oven pizzas topped with mushrooms, sausage or clams.
Meanwhile, the bar at the Marilyn mixes up classic cocktails with a twist. Try the Tequila Sunrise made with Aperol or the Oaxacan Old Fashioned with tequila and mezcal. The Marilyn also plans to add a downstairs speakeasy bar this summer.
The fresh arrival has already attracted fans thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of 10 reviews on Yelp.
Franny A., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Feb. 13, wrote, "There is a lot of super value on the menu. Classy spot."
Yelper Austin L. added, "Food and atmosphere is really good. I will go again."
