Amali, located at 115 East 60th Street, celebrated 10 years of serving up the finest in cuisines, wine and spirits. Amali’s commitment to sustainability is unique to the Midtown East neighborhood it resides in and has received critical recognition from the Obama White House, New York Times, and the James Beard House.
To celebrate the landmark anniversary, the stars were out to toast Broadway star Jessica Vosk on her sold-out Carnegie Hall show. The restaurant was filled with many famous faces including Zac Posen, David Burtka, Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying, Dear Evan Hansen concertmaster Justin Smith, Broadway & Vine creator Jacob Langfelder, Broadway Music Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell, and American Idol star Melinda Doolittle among others. Amali owners James Mallios, Kylie Monagan, Tanya Saxena, Michael Van Camp, and Executive Chef Alex Tubero were also in attendance. Following the celebration, the restaurant has launched a special Post-Broadway Menu which will be available nightly beginning at 9pm. The 2 Course Post-Broadway Menu is $65 per person and includes a choice of a Mezze Dish, Fresh Pasta, and Side Item. Pricing is exclusive of administrative fee and tax. Be sure to mention you want the Post-Broadway menu when making reservations.
Amali is no stranger to musical talent. The restaurant plays host to The New Power Trio on Sunday nights with Dear Evan Hansen Concertmaster Justin Smith and fellow Broadway alums performing their own arrangements of today and yesterday’s pop music, played on concert-level classical instruments at 7:30pm weekly. And on Monday nights diners can enjoy a dynamic jazz performance featuring a rotating roster of the city’s burgeoning Jazz talent, which also kicks off at 7:30pm.
