Location: 361 6th Ave, New York, NY 10014

Cuisine: Seafood

Cost: $$$

Overall: A quaint casual eatery with gourmet presentation and the latest destination to cure your seafood cravings.

Seabird is located on the corner of Washington Place and 6th Avenue, a few hundred feet from the popular basketball courts of West 4th and just steps from the Halloween and Pride parade routes. From the outside, the restaurant resembles a coffee shop or bakery, but looks can be deceiving.

Earlier this month in France, Champagne purveyor Pol Roger finally opened the first two bottles of their rare 120-year-old champagne. The bottles had been recovered from a 1900 cellar collapse, which devastated the company. The collapse was caused by rain and cost the company an estimated 1.5 million bottles of premium champagne. The bottles were discovered in January of 2018, as the company was building a new packaging facility, above the site of the collapsed cellar. Before torrential rain halted the excavation, they were able to unearth 23 intact bottles which were sealed with wax. Last week, Pol Roger brought their famous champagne to Brooklyn, to toast the borough’s most well-known bridge. A champagne reception and intimate dinner were held at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge’s, stylish rooftop eatery, Harriet’s. The evening was hosted by Hubert De Billy, a fifth-generation member of the Pol Roger family who thoroughly explained Pol Roger’s connection to the massive Brooklyn Bridge which was once used to store their precious champagne.
