The Clocktower is an English cuisine restaurant at the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, New York City, United States. [1] Despite its name it is on the second floor of the building, not in the structure's clock tower. The Clocktower received a Michelin star in the 2018 Michelin Guide for New York City. [2] The restaurant lost the star in 2022. [3]

Contents

To enter the restaurant, diners walk through the lobby of the Edition Hotel, also located in the building. [4] The Clocktower is a collaboration between Philadelphia-based restaurateur Stephen Starr and London-based chef Jason Atherton. It is Atherton's first restaurant project in the United States. [5]

Design

The restaurant has a dining area, a separate bar, and a room with a billiards table. [1] The dining area is split into three separate rooms. The restaurant is decorated throughout with black and white photographs, mostly taken in New York City. Guests are provided a booklet with information about the pictures upon request. [1]

Tableware

Much of the tableware used at the Clocktower was sourced by Starr employee Randi Sirkin from the website Etsy. [6] Atherton was also involved in the selection process. [6] The tableware includes porcelain plates decorated with skulls wearing crowns and other regal paraphernalia, which Atherton now uses in some of his restaurants in London and Singapore. [6]
