Rockwell Group's subterranean Chelsea temple at 92 9th Avenue, Tao Downtown.
Why we recommend Tao in New York
We keep Tao on the short list of New York dining rooms worth a standalone night rather than a squeezed-in pre-club meal. Michelin or James Beard-recognized Manhattan dining destination. Outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP focuses on nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurant reservations, so this page is written as a city guide: the room and its point of view, the menu cues, the practical timing, and the fastest way to reserve your own table. Use it alongside a MyRSVP nightlife or pool booking to stack the full evening.
