• Contemporary european • Long Island City
The Newsroom remains a guarded secret hosting Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays include aerialist shows. To discover it, walk through the Station Lounge, reminiscent of a 1990’s NYC subway station. There, an unassuming newsstand discretely conceals the entrance behind Coke & Snapple refrigerator doors. With its exclusivity, reservations are highly recommended. Once inside, guests are spellbound by live aerialist performances, setting the stage for the culinary artistry of Celebrity Yankees Chef Ricardo Cardona and his signature Latin - European fusion dishes. The Newsroom seamlessly blends mystique, entertainment, and gastronomy into unforgettable nights.
