Swanky: Zuma
This hip London-based restaurant, with additional spots in Dubai, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi, opened its midtown Manhattan outpost in January. The dark two-story space includes a sushi bar, a robata grill serving an excellent rice hot pot with mushrooms ($19), and an extensive sake cellar. Come with potential clients, and expect a scene: Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow are two of Zuma’s many famous fans.

Laid-back: Little Park
Chef Andrew Carmellini’s newest restaurant, inside Tribeca’s Smyth hotel since November, is a quick jaunt from the media and finance hub developing around One World Trade Center. In the sleek, spacious room, you’ll enjoy a veggie-focused menu of crispy Brussels sprouts ($15), celery-root schnitzel ($14), and standout desserts such as cinnamon-toast ice cream ($8)—a great treat to celebrate a deal.
