The Landing: A Hidden Gem Above Penn District

Tucked away above the lobby of the Penn 1 building, The Landing is the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something truly special. I’ve been visiting this hidden gem for nearly three years, and since last year, I had the privilege of capturing its dishes for their website and social media. Each visit reminds me why it’s such a standout spot in New York City.

The Landing’s high standards for food and service are apparent from the moment you walk in. Chef Jon’s attention to detail and creativity shine through in every dish. While he operates within a menu designed to appeal to a broad audience, his ability to elevate familiar flavors with subtle, innovative touches is captivating. Seasonal specials, whether inspired by events like the U.S. Open or the holidays, add an extra layer of excitement and freshness to the dining experience.

The bar deserves just as much praise. Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate its consistency and quality—every cocktail is crafted with care, and the balance of flavors is always on point. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or a full dining experience, The Landing never disappoints.

If you’re near Penn Street, take a moment to explore beyond the lobby of Penn One. You might just find your new favorite spot.
