Expect to start seeing a much cooler crowd at Rockefeller Center, as downtown favorites Estela and Frenchette are taking up residence there Wednesday through Saturday for the month of September. It’s pretty ingenious actually — they are setting up outdoor tables on the rink and serving seafood towers and lavish picnic baskets stocked with goodies that will delight.
So friends – dreams do come true. Especially if yours includes picnicking on The Rink at Rockefeller Center with food from two celebrated NYC restaurants. If this wasn’t already a dream of yours, it will be now.
Estela and Frenchette will serve prix-fixe baskets of seasonal gourmet picnic fare, but for September only. Throughout the month, Frenchette will offer its French specialties on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and Estela will serve up snacks and seafood on Friday and Saturday evenings.
This dining event is open only to groups of 4, 6 (Frenchette only), or 8 who have reservations, which can be made on The Rink at Rockefeller Center Resy page.
It’s $125 per person, and cocktails, beer and other add-ons may be purchased on site. This dining event is perfect for gathering the quaranteam to enjoy New York on the cusp of its best season, along with the food, skyscrapers and crisp autumn weather that make the city so special.
