UPLAND – Chef Justin Smillie brings a California inspired restaurant to Murray Hill. Justin has received national notice from his creative spin on Italian cuisine at Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria. Upland was just voted one of the top 10 go to restaurants in NYC for 2015 by the New York Times. Favorite spot is right at the bar which gives you a beautiful view of the restaurant and direct contact with the bartenders who create elegant cocktails.

Here are some of my favorites!
