Palace Gate celebrates cocktails and bar dining at its finest, from the Two-Star Michelin team at GILT all in the open air and under the stars in the middle of Midtown Manhattan. It is the perfect spot for an early or late evening bite - a place where New Yorkers and destination diners alike can meet in a relaxed outdoor atmosphere.

Mere steps within the hotel’s wrought iron gates and wrapped in the architectural splendor of the Villard Mansion, lies the beautiful and spacious Palace Gate. Guests can indulge in the spirited bar menu of modern American and comfort driven dishes from Executive Chef Justin Bogle, a perfect array of tempting appetizers and shareable plates.

Dive into an order of decadent Truffle Fries, crispy potatoes showered with shaved truffles and a garlic herb dipping sauce or treat yourself to The Gilt Burger, topped with aged cheddar, house-made pickles, crispy onion rings and house-cured bacon. This season, newcomers to the menu include Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with Saffron Rice, Olive, Manchego and Grilled Branzino with Tomato, Capers, and Roasted Eggplant.

On the sweeter side, Executive Pastry Chef David Carmichael takes his cues from summer, introducing his take on the classic Knickerbocker Glory Sundae. Enjoy layers of homemade wild strawberry and vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, crushed raspberry and amarena cherries. The sundae is drizzled with peach melba syrup, topped with rose scented whipped cream, finished with cashew studded milk chocolate cigarettes – one truly has to see and taste it to believe it!

The cocktail program at Palace Gate delivers innovative takes on both classics and modern libations. From the Geisha Blossom prepared with Stoli Citron, Champagne, Junmai Ginjo Sake, Lychee Puree, and Lavender Syrup to the fiery Jalapeño Margarita, each cocktail is crafted with premium spirits and the freshest ingredients.

The Palace Gate experience is filled with opportunities to pair exceptional wines from Wine Director Patrick Cappiello's 8,000 bottle cellar. With numerous selections by the glass, guests are sure to find the perfect complement to every occasion.

Open 4:00 - 10:00 pm daily, Palace Gate is located in the courtyard at The New York Palace at Madison & 50th in Manhattan. For more information, please call 212 891 8100 or visit www.palacegatenyc.com.
