Aquarelle NYC

Aquarelle NYC is a full-service restaurant located in the Alphabet City neighborhood of Manhattan, at 47 Avenue B. The venue is defined by its immersive underwater-inspired aesthetic — blue velvet banquettes, round marble tables, porthole windows, vivid wall art, and warm wood tones — creating a distinctive atmosphere suited to private dining, cocktail receptions, and social gatherings of varying sizes. In-house catering is available with Mediterranean, vegan, vegetarian, halal, and gluten-free menu options, and the venue holds a full alcohol licence. External caterers are also welcome. The Lounge is the main-floor space, accommodating up to 60 seated guests or 100 standing. It features a bar, booth seating, and an open layout, making it well suited for cocktail parties, casual private events, and intimate celebrations. The Grotto is a private downstairs room with the same capacity as The Lounge — up to 60 seated and 100 standing. Its enclosed layout suits groups seeking privacy while retaining the restaurant's energetic atmosphere, and it is well suited for parties, promoted events, and social celebrations. The Cove is a semi-private space on the lower level, accommodating up to 50 seated guests or 70 standing. Its enclosed feel within the broader restaurant setting makes it a versatile option for birthdays, private dinners, and intimate receptions. The VIP Room is the most intimate of the venue's private spaces, seating up to 25 guests or accommodating 35 standing. Featuring a large oval wooden table, navy velvet chairs, and wood paneling, it is ideal for exclusive gatherings, private dinners, or smaller celebrations requiring complete privacy.
