Raoul's – French
Tucked away in the heart of Soho, this legendary bistro pulses with a bohemian energy, where dim lighting and plush red leather booths create an intimate sanctuary of old-school New York glamour. The air is thick with the intoxicating scent of peppercorn-crusted steak and golden frites, as diners clink glasses of Bordeaux amidst a backdrop of eclectic art and the lively hum of a room that has seen decades of storied nights.
