From the group behind The Grill, Carbone, Zz’s Clam Bar and plenty of other indulgent NYC gems, comes The Polynesian: an ode to Tiki in the heart of Midtown West.Â
It’s open now inside Pod Times Square Hotel, and here’s what to know about…
The Sustenance Pu pu platters with spare ribs, some top-notch crab rangoon, wontons and more.Â
The Space Timber beams and tiki carvings. Bamboo-slated ceilings modeled after island huts. A bar topped with glazed lava stone. Hand-painted murals depicting 18th century Polynesian expeditions. A huge bespoke table topped with a pirate’s map of Polynesia. There’s no missing the theme in this space, which is divvied up into an expansive indoor area and outdoor terrace with sweeping views of the city.Â
