Even in a city saturated with swank celebrity hot spots, Harry Cipriani gleams like a well-cut diamond. History has a lot to do with it: The rustic-chic restaurant was opened in the ’80s by the Ciprianis, the same clan who own the legendary Harry’s Bar in Venice. The big-city sibling – at the enviable perch of 58th and 5th – got off to a roaring start and shows no signs of slowing down. Smitten celebs, the moneyed set and anyone who thinks they’re someone flock here nightly to tuck into Northern Italian fare and sip sweet Bellinis (Cipriani’s signature peach ’n’ wine cocktail), but most of all, to see and be seen. For all of the stars who strut in and out, the interior is refreshingly casual, with mustard walls, hardwood floors and a welcoming bar. If you’re in the mood for a quintessential New York evening, hang your hat at Harry’s.
