Returning to BLACKBARN for dinner felt like revisiting a version of New York dining that many have missed. In the evening, the restaurant offers an escape, briefly transporting guests out of the city and into something closer to a ski-town retreat. It’s a dinner experience marked by assurance, the kind that comes from a place comfortable with its own pace.
The holidays came early to BLACKBARN this week, where the restaurant has transformed its warm, cabin-like interior into a cozy haven for festive brunch. Twinkling seasonal décor, rustic touches, and the warming scent of cinnamon set the tone as Santa and Mrs. Claus float table to table greeting guests. It’s the type of atmosphere that reminds even the grinchiest of New Yorkers what the holidays are all about.
BLACKBARN this month toasted a decade in business.
