On Thursday, May 27th, Nearly Ninth, the latest dining and drinking destination from the Gerber Group and from the team behind Mr. Purple, The Campbell, The Crown, is opening its doors at the NEW Arlo Midtown. Here are 3 good reasons to visit the new destination:
The Food
Nearly Ninth is an all-day destination for fresh, Italian-inspired fare and craft cocktails in a warm, modern setting. Executive Chef Corey Becker has created a menu of classic American with Italian influences, like Pat LaFreida brisket-blend burgers, Roman-style pizza, and delectable pasta.
“The menu features comfort foods and relatable dishes, all elevated with premium ingredients,” says Becker “and we source locally from the best purveyors in the Northeast like Natoora and Buon’Italia.”
The Space
Divided into 5 separate areas – lobby bar, lounge, rooftop, coffee bar, and later this summer, a dining room with attached courtyard, Nearly Ninth has a space for everyone.
“Nearly Ninth offers a myriad of choices throughout the day, from a morning coffee in the lounge, to lunch in the courtyard, or sunset cocktails on the rooftop,” said Gerber Group Managing Partner Vincent Mauriello “you can decompress, get work done, or party with friends. This summer, the choices are truly limitless.”
The Cocktails
The innovative cocktail menu features refreshing takes on the spritz, negroni, and margarita, as well as takes on the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Martini.
“We have a low ABV Spritz program that complements the dining menu and season perfectly,” said Mauriello “and the Negroni menu is lots of fun too, highlighted by our Nearly Ninth Negroni on tap.”
