Restaurateur and Executive Chef Anthony Goncalves elevates the meaning of fine dining with the opening of 42, located on the 42nd floor of the newly opened Ritz-Carlton in White Plains.  A partnership with noted real estate developer Louis Cappelli,
Goncalves’ appreciation for high-quality ingredients, fresh flavors and bold presentations are showcased in a menu of Contemporary New American Cuisine.

Guests are transported to the restaurant via an express “open-view” elevator scaling the exterior wall of the skyscraper.  Goncalves has divided the floor plan into a number of smaller spaces, each with its own unique décor, spectacular views and culinarty offerings.

Steps off the elevator, upon entering the bar, patrons are surrounded with breathtaking views and multiple skylights providing celestial and city nightscapes.  The décor of the bar is a luxurious mix of onyx; from the floor-to-ceiling wall tiles to the sunken bar finished in black granite.

Adjacent to the bar is a chic lounge, perfect for a relaxed dining experience,.  Guests enjoy the sleek environment and small plates menu while seated in the inviting sofas and armchairs, looking out at Northern Westchester.

The second level mezzanine is outfitted with cozy, semi=private wood banquettes featuring buttery soft leather seating, red lacquered walls and oversized crushed velvet light fixtures.

On a clear night, the open space of the lower dining room affords diners unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline and beyond.  The décor is equally breathtaking, as the room is illuminated by oversized Swarovski crystal chandeliers with crushed velvet banquettes and Bernhardt suede seating.  A red backlit wine wall serves as temperature/humidity controlled wine storage and screens the main dining room from the staircase leading up to the mezzanine.

Private dining has never been more sophisticated.  Guest enjoy the views of Manhattan in an exclusive dining area complete with private bath and flat screen media capabilities.

Deftly balancing bright and bold flavors, fresh ingredients are given elegant, new life in Goncalves’ kitchen.  Goncalves’ menus at 42 indulge even the most ambitious diner’s enthusiasm for creative cuisine.  The same engaged balance of sophistication and simplicity is illustrated in 42’s wine program.  The select but diverse wine list includes celebrated American classics as well as intriguing bottles from smaller vintners and a depth of international selections.
