Caviar’s moment is far from over—especially on National Caviar Day, July 18. In New York City, the celebration isn't confined to silver service and crystal spoons. This year, restaurants are reimagining how and where luxury can be experienced—on rooftops, boardwalks, and even diner counters. Below, we round up four must-visit spots offering playful, polished, and palate-pleasing caviar bites designed for a discerning audience looking to toast the occasion in style.
Address: 200 W. 39th St., 30th Floor, New York, NY 10018
High above Times Square, The Skylark elevates the caviar experience—literally. The Lobster and Caviar Cone ($24) is a delicate assembly of chive, crème fraîche, and seafood richness, all nestled in a black sesame cone. It's just one of many refined touches at this all-season cocktail lounge, where skyline views include the Empire State Building, Hudson Yards, and the New Year’s Eve Ball itself.
Address: 11 E. 31st St., New York, NY 10016
Helmed by Executive Chef Fred Maurer, NoMad Diner delivers inventive comfort food with finesse. For National Caviar Day, the standout is a Deviled Egg ($12) topped with trout roe, sesame oil, togarashi, and furikake.
“The cool salty pop of the roe pairs perfectly with the rich creamy egg yolk, rounded out by the sesame oil and heat from the togarashi.”Executive Chef Fred Maurer
It’s a perfect bite: rich, textural, and quietly extravagant.
Address: 11 E. 31st St., New York, NY 10016
Located on the 31st floor of Arlo NoMad, ART NoMad offers a skyline-side celebration of summer. Enter the NoMad Dog ($22): a smoky frank topped with kewpie mayo, crispy shallots, and, of course, caviar. Served with chips and a front-row view of the Empire State Building, it’s a clever twist that Chef Fred Maurer says “adds a touch of briny umami that elevates the dog perfectly.” If rooftop revelry is on the agenda, this is where to do it—with a flute of something bubbly in hand.
Address: 3145 Brighton Fourth St., Brooklyn, NY 11235
Just steps from Coney Island, Breva brings an upscale twist to the boardwalk with its indulgent Caviar Tots ($24). Crisp Yukon Gold potatoes meet crème fraîche and caviar in a bite-sized indulgence that balances comfort and luxury in equal measure. The setting? A breezy seaside brasserie with a front-row view of the Atlantic—best enjoyed with a seasonal summer spritz in hand.
This National Caviar Day, skip the silver tray and seek out the unexpected. Whether you're toasting beachside or high above the city, these New York destinations prove that decadence doesn’t always need a white tablecloth—just creativity, craftsmanship, and a dash of roe.
