Nearly two centuries after Delmonico’s opened America’s first fine-dining steakhouse in Manhattan’s Financial District, the restaurant has announced it is expanding to a second location in Midtown.
Delmonico’s Hospitality Group signed a lease for a sprawling, 11,735-square-foot restaurant space at the base of the 1330 Avenue of the Americas building, just down the street from MoMA.
Delmonico’s was founded in 1827 by Swiss-Italian immigrants Giovanni and Pietro Delmonico as a pastry shop, expanding into a fine dining establishment in 1837 and settling into its iconic triangular space on 56 Beaver St. Over nearly 200 years, the restaurant led the conversation on what it means to be a fine dining restaurant, innovating dishes like eggs Benedict, baked Alaska, lobster Newburg and Chicken a la Keene. These items are still offered on Delmonico’s menu and the menus of restaurants around the world.
“New York doesn’t need another generic steakhouse,” Dennis Turcinovic, owner and executive culinary partner of Delmonico’s, said in a press release. “Delmonico’s was born here, we’re not a national chain entering the market, we helped define it.”
While this is the first expansion for Delmonico’s, the overarching hospitality group operates several restaurants throughout the city, including TUCCI NYC and Boogie Lab Bakery & Bistro, which is opening in the spring of 2026. Delmonico’s Hospitality Group’s portfolio of restaurants will be managed by newly appointed executive chef Adam Plitt, former Chef de Cuisine at Le Bernardin.
The upcoming Delmonico’s is slated to open in 2027. “For nearly 200 years, Delmonico’s has been part of the city’s culinary fabric, and this new restaurant will build on that legacy while offering a fresh interpretation of the Delmonico’s experience for today’s Midtown audience,” Turcinovic says.
