Just What NYC Needs: A Four Seasons Caviar Lounge

Where: 57 East 57th Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10022

We are way sick of those "Recession? What Recession?" openers, so we'll go ahead and let this one ultra-luxe-new-service-during-a-recession slide and go with a positive spin on this: The Four Seasons New York is staying true to its ritzy roots and is opening a caviar lounge the week of March 23.

Grub Street reports:

The Four Seasons Hotel will open a caviar lounge serving (and, for the first time in the States, selling tins of) Calvisius Caviar, an Italian sustainable-farm brand making inroads here (it has long been served at restaurants like Le Bernardin and was recently added to the menu at Da Silvano).

Designer James D’Auria is installing an onyx bar that’ll dole out Calvisius’s relatively large, mild, and minimally cured White Sturgeon caviar (and also a newer Oscietra variety), plus smoked sturgeon, and of course Champagne, Italian sparkling wine, and vodka.

You can order up the indulgent treat Solamente — seven grams of Calvisius with blini or toasted bread — and it will run you $25; or "The Italian Way" (warmed potato purée with ten grams Calvisius for $35.

For more info, give the hotel a call at (212) 207-8222.
