The Restaurant at Hotel on Rivington

"Flavors of the Mediterranean are served in a colorful space for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Café Medi, the hotel’s ground floor restaurant"

"It only stands to reason that glamorous lodgings would arrive on the Lower East Side – one of the last holdouts of gritty New York is now trendy, and guests who wish to enjoy the nearby clubs and restaurants can surround themselves with chic style and, from the upper floors, movie-worthy views of the city"

"But the crowd that stays here is drawn to the neighborhood, sampling the area’s chic restaurants and bars"

"A stylish crowd congregates in the hotel’s two new restaurants, Coop Food & Drink, which serves sushi alongside modern American fare, and Viktor & Spoils, a contemporary taqueria and tequila bar"

"Design-fueled destination amid the hood's booming restaurants and rock nightlife"

"The in-house Co-Op restaurant opened in 2011, serving the kind of playful comfort fare — ginger fried chicken, truffle mac n’ cheese — meant to be shared over more than a few cocktails under an installation of scene-y celebrity portraits"

"House restaurant Café Medi serves flavors from the coasts of Spain, France and Italy"
