Where else but in the Big Apple could there exist a restaurant like the legendary Le Cirque? We give thanks to restaurateur Sirio Maccioni for his half-century of relentless effort seasoned with grand style and tenacity. Both Maccioni and Le Cirque are true symbols of New York gastronomy. The third version of this institution consists of a glass-enclosed aerie on the ground floor of the spectacular glass and steel Bloomberg building. Modernity obscures age; wagishness and theater won't allow Le Cirque to fade. Silk billows from the ceiling, gauzy shades puff, a circle of porcelain monkeys teases, all evocative of the first Le Cirque; features that bear the signature of architect Adam Tihany.
