Metropolis, a brand new restaurant by Marcus Samuelsson opened inside the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) in Lower Manhattan. A vibrant mix of contemporary American cuisine, the restaurant takes inspiration from the culture and traditions of New York City’s five boroughs.
Restauranteur Marcus Samuelsson teamed up with Executive Chef Ed Tinoco, Chef de Cuisine Marcelo Malta Andrade and Pastry Chef Onika Ayana Brown to craft a menu featuring locally inspired dishes and cuisines. Entrées include the Aged Long Island Duck rubbed with a 4-year mole, foie gras and peaches, Arctic Char with uni beurre blanc, agrodolce cucumbers, and citrus, and the Whole Grilled Dover Sole to Share with pomme soufflé and braised leeks.
New York is a city of constant change and evolution where generations of immigrants have made their mark building its future. At Metropolis, we’re tapping into that cultural flow and sharing how a restaurant contributes to that dialogue. Through food and drink, we want to capture what makes New York the most delicious place to be.
