Nightly’s, a stylish new bar and bistro from In Tune Hospitality led by Massimo Lussardi, officially opened in NYC. Located at 1496 2nd Ave (corner of 78th St), Nightly’s joins In Tune’s lineup of neighborhood gems (including Keys & Heels, Uva, and Uva Next Door – all located on the same block!).
Nightly’s offers a fresh take on the New York bistro, blending European elegance with modern New York flair, The menu highlights bistro classics and nostalgic throwbacks across four sections: a raw bar, apps & lighter fare, a range of entrees, and plenty of sides. The ambiance (carefully curated by Massimo and his partner Jayne Moore over the past year) seamlessly melds warmth and sophistication, with beautiful custom lighting fixtures, curated framed art, and checkered wood flooring inspired by iconic New York eateries – plus an expansive patio for spritzing in warmer seasons.
