or certain high-power Manhattanites, the most important meal of the day is neither breakfast nor dinner, but rather lunch—the FThree Martini Lunch, to be exact. It’s no secret that more business LUNCHES deals are made over these long, alcohol-infused meals than in any meeting room, of legend despite their leisurely appearance. But just because you’re not coming from the offie dent ma yu cnt prae i te patc, s pl u a car a oe o these restaurants and soak in the city’s most storied meal.

With the opening of One World Trade Center, the gorgeous new Fulton Center subway station, and a host of new shops and hotels in the works, Manhattan’s financial district is reclaiming its days as one of the city’s most glamorous neighborhoods. On Wall Street, Cipriani Club 55 is a large contributor to the district’s glitter, where businessmen and the occasional celebrity come to sit in the chandeliered dining room or out on the pillared balcony for a lunch that may roll into a couple hours or more. Ingredients imported from the boot beautifully uphold Cipriani’s reputation for fantastic Italian food, best complimented by the restaurant’s dry martinis, whose recipe comes from Cipriani’s parent restaurant, Harry’s Bar in Venice. Founder Giuseppe Cipriani is also hailed as being the inventor of the Bellini, and it’s all but requisite to start or end a meal with a flute of Prosecco and white peach juice. (Wall St. nr. Hanover St.)

If objects could speak, the banquettes in the Grill Room at the Four Seasons Restaurant would probably have more insider information to tell about big business and high society than all the city’s newspapers put together. Manhattan’s most influential circles have been reserving them for their afternoon tête-à-têtes since the restaurant opened in 1959, taking down local oysters in the French walnut–paneled dining room, or perhaps nibbling on the restaurant’s cultish crab cakes in the serene Pool Room, whose cerulean centerpiece pool is surrounded by trees that change seasonally, along with the menus. The wine list here is renowned, but in daylight hours, go for the cocktail menu, comprised of all the classics executed to perfection—perfect accompaniments for having a prolonged power lunch of your own. (52nd St. nr. Park Ave.)

When it comes to wall art, few restaurants in the world can hold a flame to that of The Palm. Back in the 1920s and 30s when it first opened, the artists, writers, and intellects who dined here but couldn’t foot their bill paid instead by drawing portraits and caricatures on the walls, and few things make for better table conversation than ordering a round of drinks and letting their coquettishness set the tone for a relaxed afternoon. For lunch, a three-course set power lunch, some specialty burgers, and a selection from the dinner menu are served in famously generous portions, making for languid meals that call for second and third rounds to wash them down. (Second Ave. at 45th St.)

Since 1977, the green-and-white façade of Smith & Wollensky has stood as an unmistakable harbinger for some of the most prime meats in the city. Its loyal lunchtime clientele attests to the fact that few other places offer a lunchtime selection of filets as extensive as here—rubbed with coffee and cocoa, crusted with gorgonzola, au poivre—in addition to rib eyes, chops, salads, and seafood. And while SIP AWAY AN AFTERNOON OVER ONE OF THE CITY’S MOST its wine selection has repeatedly won awards from Wine Spectator magazine, the STORIED TRADITIONS: two signature martinis are perfect for midday unwinds: Charlie Smith’s “Ultimat” the three-martini lunch Martini with Marcona almond-stuffed olives, and Ralph Wollensky’s decadent “Signature” Martini with black peppercorns and 24-karat gold flakes.

30 NYCMONTHLY MUSEUMS

In 2002, one of the worst things that can befall a museum happened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: a rare 500-year old sculpture of Adam fell and shattered into hundreds of pieces. After 12 years of research and painstaking restoration, however, the perfectly proportioned, serene-faced statue is again on display. The exhibit Tullio Lombardo’s Adam: A Masterpiece Restored centers on the reconstructed life-size marble sculpture considered one of the most important artworks from Renaissance Venice to be found outside that city. Made by the great Venetian artist Lombardo in the early 1490s to decorate the tomb of Doge Andrea Vendramin, it is the only signed sculpture from that monument. The exhibit, which enables visitors to view the statue in the round, explains through video how a team of conservators, scientists, engineers and imaging experts conducted extensive research and gradually reassembled ART Adam using groundbreaking technology. This is also the inaugural exhibit for of the Met’s new permanent gallery for Venetian and northern Italian sculpture. (Through 6/14, 1000 Fifth Ave. at 82nd St., Manhattan)

Opening this month at the Brooklyn Museum is Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks, the first major exhibit of the notebooks of Brooklyn- born artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (who was a Junior Member of the museum ALL in his youth). The show is centered around 160 rarely seen notebook pages, From Renaissance sculpture filled with the artist's handwritten texts and sketches. The acclaimed (and to digital-age design, these prolific) Basquiat created 600 paintings and 1,500 drawings, in addition to sculptures and mixed-media pieces, before his death in 1988 at the age museums have it covered. of 27. As he developed his unique artworks combining text and images, Basquiat amassed numerous notebooks full of poetry, wordplay, sketches, and personal observations on themes ranging from popular culture to race, class, and world history. These pages offer a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of a distinctive artistic sensibility and a remarkable individual. Thirty related paintings, drawings, and mixed-media works drawn from private collections and the artist's estate are also on view.
