Today at the Whitney Museum the new restaurant from Danny Meyer called Untitled is opening

At the Whitney Museum of American Art, the lines that are wrapping around it as it is being reopened in downtown New York City are not just for those who want to take a view of the 22,000 works in the gallery’s space that is vastly expanded. From far and near, visitors are clamouring to enter into one of the most hotly anticipated new restaurants of the city - Untitled, which is the most recent from Danny Meyer the restaurateur.

Michael Anthony the Gramercy Tavern’s longtime executive chef was tapped by Meyer to be the leader of the kitchen which is a steel space that is open and stainless and spans almost 50 percent of the length of the dining room of 72 seats.

The appreciation of the gastronomes would be for the menu that is seasonal and thoughtfully sourced and results in compositions that are beautifully plated of monkfish that are grilled and dressed in lobster sauce and black garlic, or shrimp ravioli that is ruby-coloured and topped with mushrooms and nettles.

The restaurant which also has a terrace outdoors with 52 seats and views of the Statue of Liberty and the Hudson River is located in the ground floor of the museum of 220,000 square feet which Renzo Piano designed. The restaurant will soon start to accept reservations and would be open for lunch and dinner. However, until then guests who face waits that are long are not bereft: the Studio Café is also operated by Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group on the 8^th floor of the building, and it has a fare that is lighter, about as many seats, and a space outdoors with the same views that induce envy as Untitled’s.

Re-opening on May 1 is the Whitney Museum of American Art in its new downtown digs in New York City. Designed by Renzo Piano the famed architect the megalith in Manhattan’s meatpacking District is going to soon be the house of curation that is new: America is Hard to See that is an assemblage from the permanent collections of the museum.

Represented in the exhibit of 600 works are about 400 artists and the dates of none of the works are further than 1900. “The most ambitious display of Whitney’s collection to date” is what it is being called by the museum.

The creator of a lot of paintings Michael Chini spoke about the new home of the museum’s dynamism recently.

He stated that he had a fascination with the idea of the museum of art as an institution, as a place that was art energy-loaded, but which was somewhat in separation from the works that were inside it. His desire was to have Whitney painted as a way of connection with what was going to be on display there prior to its eventual opening – sort of like in the present history was being written. He had spent half a day having the linen painted with oil in a room facing the south at the Standard High Line hotel. It had been an epic view, which had blue skies that were pure and sunlight that was intense reflected off the façade of glass and had the room lit like flash photography. This modern piece of architecture was made by it to looks almost nuclear.
