Dowling's At The Carlyle

The Carlyle Hotel has always been the move for a glamorous, old school New York night on the town. And while it's hard to beat jazz and martinis at Bemelmans, the Upper East Side staple's newest in-house hot spot definitely serves as the perfect precursor. 

For the "dinner" portion of a classic "dinner and drinks" situation uptown, there's officially no chicer spot than Dowling's At The Carlyle, the hotel's recently revamped restaurant. Named for Robert Whittle Dowling, former owner of The Carlyle, the 80-seat destination recalls the fine dining atmosphere of 1930s and '40s Manhattan, from the grandeur of the menu items to the plush, eclectic charm of the interiors.
