• Unspecified • Lower East Side
Booked 82 times today
Beauty & Essex has an innovative design that starts in the restaurant’s entrance, a well-curated modern-day pawn shop replete with a saxophone, boom­box, quirky artifacts, vintage treasures, and an eclectic array of “one-off” pieces of jewelry. Continuing past the pawnshop, guests encounter a grand, circular staircase wrapped around a two-story custom chandelier, but only the adventurous will discover all that Beauty & Essex has to offer. With four distinct dining rooms (one private), two bars, a lounge, and a women’s bathroom complete with a salon including a luxurious sofa, and antique perfume bottles. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course. Chef Chris Santos was one of the pioneers of the small, share plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with the Beauty & Essex menu, he once again has created waves on the food scene.

    What a wonderful French Bistro we were staying @ Indigo Hotel across the street we stumbled on this lovely lounge at the Dirty French inside the Ludlow Hotel. We had a quiet breakfast in the relaxing atmosphere here, Abdel was our server and was extremely friendly, kind & hospitable, took extra time to connect with us. I had the Any-Style combo of Eggs, roast potato and sliced Avocado & Toast & my friend had the Croissant Egg Sandwich. Both were delicious. We would highly recommend this place. Ask for Abdel!
