“LOVE IS CALLING”

Yayoi Kusama started

making infinity rooms in the

’60s. Back then men copied

her ideas and became famous;

LE JARDINIER

Chef Alain Verzeroli’s new

Midtown Manhattan restau-

rant—designed by Joseph

Dirand—shows off everything

he learned in his 18 years

working for Joël Robuchon.

The vegetable-forward menu

highlights Verzeroli’s skill

with seasonal produce and

leaves plenty of room for

selections from the tempting

dessert menu. (We like the

lemon meringue tart—a lot.)

Upstairs, a second eatery,

Shun (contemporary French

with Japanese influences),

features two private dining

rooms and the prettiest new

bar in town. Open now
