We took some time to relax over Christmas/New Years, and, inspired by this Un-Monuments of New York article, wanted to share some favorite un-monuments of ours. The Elevator at The Grill The Grill has been our place to celebrate family milestones: our engagement, new jobs, birthdays. Back when it was the Four Seasons, and I worked in Midtown, I used to go there for work drinks and enjoy the landmarked Philip Johnson interiors. A few years ago, we discovered an elevator that would take you from the ground floor, where the coat room is located, up to the dining area. It’s a bit of a labyrinthine path to get upstairs, as it takes you into the bowels of the Seagram Building, and deposits you into the middle of the kitchen. But this long tracking shot makes you feel like a security detail is following you as you burst into the dining room from the back of house.
