Hudson Yards-adjacent development Manhattan West — which opened in September 2021 — has several new restaurants and dining outlets, but there’s no doubt that Union Square Hospitality Group’s Ci Siamo is garnering the most interest.

Ci Siamo, set to open October 12, is the first new restaurant in NYC from restaurateur Danny Meyer’s hospitality group since sky-scraping upscale FiDi spot Manhatta (which remains temporarily closed) and casual taco spot Tacocina opened in 2018. Ci Siamo aims to be an accessible, welcoming Italian restaurant in a residential-type space, according to executive chef Hillary Sterling, formerly of Manhattan Italian spots Vic’s and A Voce.
