Metropolis

For 20 years, Blue Water Grill has been a mainstay on a prime corner opposite the Union Square Farmers Market in a space that was once upon a time a handsome bank. Earlier this year, it underwent a million-dollar renovation. Now it’s got a separate restaurant and jazz club below called Metropolis, in what was once the vault.

Chef Adam Raksin, who cooked at Per Se, serves raw bar staples such as oysters and caviar; he’s also making a surf and turf tartare. It makes perfect sense for the Blue Water team to maximize their space: It’s next door to the former site of Union Square Café, which moved out because the rent was too damn high.
