The food's excellent, and the space has attractive contemporary decor. http://www.danielnyc.com/dbbistro/cuisine.html If you prefer other cuisines or something less expensive, there are other options though not as close.

Also right now in the main concourse there is a light show of NYC images being projected onto the magnificent walls and ceiling. Its pretty cool.

The formal dining room overlooks the sculpture garden and is a prix fixe, the barroom is more casual and fun, and is a lot of shared plates - tarte flambe is great in the barroom.
