Lodi at Rockefeller Center is launching Happy Hour with a selection of wines, cocktails and antipasti. Happy Hour is being offered weekdays from 3pm to 6pm.
abcV is reopening for breakfast starting on April 15th. The new plant forward menu promises unique twists on breakfast favorites like a Wild Maine Blueberry Bowl, Breakfast Dosas, Plant-Based Pastries and House-Made Smoothies.
Charlie Palmer Steak has closed in the former Aureole space on 42nd Street. The restaurant, when CITITOUR visited, had an upscale steakhouse vibe and unlike other steakhouses in the city was light and airy. Palmer plans to refocus his attention on a new project at the historic Knickerbocker Hotel located across the street.

The specialty shake is being offered at Creamline's Chelsea Market and Mondrian Park Avenue locations throughout the month of April.
